Ep315 - Eleanor Coppola, Writer-Director ‘Paris Can Wait’ & ‘Love Is Love Is Love’

“I had a story I wanted to tell,” said Eleanor Coppola, filmmaker and wife of Francis Ford Coppola. “Some of it was a little bit personal and I didn’t want to make a documentary out of it, so I made a fiction piece.” Prior to her fiction features Paris Can Wait and Love Is Love Is Love, Eleanor made documentaries such as Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse, A Visit to China’s Miao Country, and Making of ‘The Virgin Suicides’ about her daughter Sofia’s film. In this interview, Eleanor talks about writing for underserved audiences, how she crafts personal stories, her writing process with Karen Leigh Hopkins, and advice for being diligent and creative at any age.
