Attendees at The Hollywood Reporter’s and Glashutte Original’s Monday night Berlin party were in for a special treat, as they were whisked up 24 floors in Europe’s fastest elevator to the intimate event celebrating James Franco-starrer I Am Michael. The fete held at the Glashutte Original lounge featured breathtaking views of the Berlin skyline and the festival’s main theater, the Berlinale Palast, bustling with red carpet activity below. I Am Michael director Justin Kelly attended the event along with Franco. The film, which screened earlier that evening, is based on the true story of a gay activist who renounces homosexuality after finding religion. Kelly said of Franco, “He really takes the time to listen and to get to know people. He treats them like his equal.”
