In this short from the terrific Academy Originals series, Seth Rogen says that it is friendship that is at the center of the stories he likes to write.    “Academy Originals” is AMPAS’s first original digital series.  The initiative is a documentary-style video series which examines everything from the creative process, to the moments that changed the course of filmmaking, to the artists who are charting its future. New Academy Originals are available every Monday on Oscars.org/AcademyOriginals and YouTube.com/AcademyOriginals.  Check out the other episodes:
