James Franco and the directors delved deeply into the material, as Allen confesses directly to camera about his struggles with love, friendship and truly finding his voice as an artist. Take after take, James embodied Ginsberg's mannerisms. Yet James was also able to make it his own and find an intimate way of telling these very personal stories from Ginsberg's life as he struggled with his unrequited love of Jack Kerouac, dealt with his mother's insanity, and finally found love with Peter Orlovsky. Director Jeffrey Friedman played the off-screen reporter who questions Allen throughout the movie, while Rob Epstein directed from behind the camera.
