Written and directed by Oliver Irving, How to Be tells the story of Art (played by Robert Pattinson), a quirky twenty-something musician who is trying to find his place in the world. He hires self-help guru Dr. Ellington to come live with him and teach him how to be "more normal."
Filmed prior to his breakthrough role as brooding vampire Edward Cullen in Twilight, Irving says he isn't surprised at Pattinson's rise to super-stardom. "He has a playfulness and naivety that he was able to inject into the character. He's very down to earth and unpretentious. I think that's probably what makes him appealing."
