Gia Coppola: 我最近执导的电影《The Last Showgirl》获得了成功,帕梅拉·安德森的精彩表演获得了金球奖和SAG奖的提名。这部电影的灵感来自于我对拉斯维加斯的热爱,以及我表姐凯特创作的关于拉斯维加斯歌舞女郎的戏剧。为了保持创作自主权,我选择制作一部小型独立电影,并与家人朋友合作完成。服装设计非常重要,我们幸运地得到了Dita Von Teese的帮助,使用了Jubilee歌舞秀的原版服装。选择帕梅拉·安德森出演是因为她身上那种脆弱中蕴含力量的特质与角色非常契合。 我从小在充满艺术气息的家庭环境中长大,这对我产生了深远的影响,但我也努力在家族传承和自身独特风格之间取得平衡。我在学校期间学习成绩不好,但这并没有阻碍我在电影领域的成功。成为母亲的经历也深刻影响了我的电影创作,特别是《The Last Showgirl》。我认为成功的定义是能够持续进行创作,并拥有幸福的家庭生活。 我喜欢的电影包括《大白鲨》,它教会了我如何在有限的预算下进行有创意的拍摄;《社交网络》,它激发了我对电影制作的热情。虽然我有一些经典电影尚未观看,例如《教父》和《乱世佳人》,但我对电影的热爱和探索从未停止。 Jesse Tyler Ferguson: 作为一名观众和主持人,我对Gia Coppola的电影以及她与家族成员的合作关系非常感兴趣。我欣赏她的创作才华以及她对电影的独特见解。
