Last night I went to hear Francis Ford Copolla speak to students at Georiga State. He showed a 1 hour doc that his wife Eleanor made about his new film, YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH.
The doc wasn't great but the film looked very interesting. Copolla was extremely generous with his time, so much so that the theatre staff basically had to kick him out, but he was insistent about answering everyones' questions. The whole audeince seemed very inspired by his observations on filmmaking.
Several people wanted to give him their demo reels, etc. so he designated a spot on the stage for anyone who wanted to pass something on to him. I had a copy of SACCO AND VANZETTI with me, (his uncle Anton is in our film) so I put it on the pile of stuff. He had wanted to do a film on S&V awhile ago, so I hope he'll watch it!
