James Franco is heading back to high school to teach teenagers all about filmmaking.

The actor, director and scholar has lectured at colleges and now he is taking his talents to younger kids after announcing he will be teaching an eight-part film course at a high school in California.

In a note on Instagram, the 127 Hours star writes, "Palo Alto High School - I will be teaching an 8 part film class for high school students. Sign up now!"

As part of the course, the young filmmakers will get the chance to make a movie with Franco.
