Do you like James Franco? Then today, my friend, is for you: the actor has directed a short film for the Gucci Techno Color campaign, and stars in it too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shot at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, the film revolves around &quot;a charming game of seduction between James Franco and a beautiful woman, the model Natalia Bonifacci, with their eyes subtly intensified by the vivid shades of Gucci Techno Color sunglasses.&quot; Also, they make out in front of a billboard &#8212; so there&#39;s that.<\/p>\n<p>The couple obviously spend the whole film wearing glasses, and meanwhile, the collection itself is described as &quot;a blend of sensuality and lightness, with a glam twist.&quot; So while I&#39;ve never been to the Chateau Marmont, I&#39;m sure that&#39;s exactly what it&#39;s like there.<\/p>\n<p>As for the glasses&#39; technology: it was developed in the &#39;80 by Safilo Group and re-interpreted today in lighter colours (which range from the purple to yellow spectrum). You can pick up the glasses anytime, since they&#39;re available now.<\/p>\n<p>No word if at any point during filming, James Franco messaged any other 17-year-old girls.<\/p>\n<p><iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/glGjB3nTmqw\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;and stars in it too<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67426,"featured_media":79151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64593],"tags":[66463,64849,69609,66878,66226],"class_list":["post-55638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-whisper","tag-director","tag-fashion","tag-gucci","tag-james-franco","tag-video"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>James Franco Directs a Short Film for Gucci Techno Color Campaign - 29Secrets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"James Franco writes, directs, and stars in a short film for Gucci\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"James Franco Directs a Short Film for Gucci Techno Color Campaign - 29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"James Franco writes, directs, and stars in a short film for Gucci\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/pop-culture\/daily-whisper\/james-franco-directs-short-film-gucci-techno-color-campaign\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-04-09T14:50:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/james%20franco.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anne T.
