James Franco Starrer 'I Am Michael' to Be Released by Brainstorm Media James Franco Starrer 'I Am Michael' to Be Released by Brainstorm Media Composed and coordinated by Justin Kelly, the film recounts the genuine story of a gay extremist who turned into a straight Christian minister. Conceptualize Media, the Beverly Hills-based outside the box merchant, has obtained author executive Justin Kelly's I Am Michael, featuring James Franco, Zachary Quinto and Emma Roberts, which it will open dramatically Jan. 27 in 10 showcases alongside a day-and-date VOD discharge. In light of a New York Times magazine article by Benoit Denizet-Lewis, the film, which appeared at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, recounts the genuine story of Michael Glatze, played by Franco, who was a prominent gay youth lobbyist who incited discussion when he turned into a straight Christian minister and guaranteed he was no more drawn out gay. Quinto plays Glatze's beau, while Roberts plays the lady who turns into his sweetheart "I Am Michael is an unfathomably unique film on a critical subject: personality. As we move into another administration where sexual introduction may by and by be raised doubt about, a film that looks at this from such an abnormal viewpoint is precious. I'm pleased to be a piece of it," said Franco, who likewise teamed up with Kelly on the as of late discharged King Cobra. The film was official created by Gus Van Sant and delivered by Franco and Vince Jolivette of generation organization Rabbit Bandini, Michael Mendelsohn of Patriot Pictures, and Scott Reed and Ron Singer of That's Hollywood. The photo was financed by Mendelsohn's Union Patriot Capital Management, LLC. The arrangement was consulted by Brian O'Shea of The Exchange, Michelle Shwarzstein for Brainstorm Media and Mendelsohn. DADA Films will handle dramatic booking and Required Viewing will handle PR for the benefit of Brainstorm.
