They said. Sometimes it just brings Coppola to the office with her own handheld camera. Sometimes her brother, Roman Coppola, will come to help. Coppola has never done a feature-length documentary before and has discovered the process is exciting, but she says she has not informed her of new stages or directors as a filmmaker.
