His production company, American Zoetrope, helped to launch the careers of directors George Lucas, John Milius, and Carroll Ballard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eFrancis Ford Coppola: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e shows Coppola to be both an intensely personal auteur and a studio-savvy Hollywood player. From the beginning of his career to the present, these conversations reveal him to be brash, candid, sensitive, and willing to engage in heated debate. He reiterates his desire to change the Hollywood system from within and talks openly about the creation of his independent film production company. Featuring interviews conducted by film critics Michael Sragow and Gene D. Phillips and the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e's Lillian Ross, among others, the volume shows how Coppola has evolved from hotshot film maverick to elder statesman of American cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gene D.
