The path to paradise by Sam Wasson

Say ‘Coppola’ and ‘The Godfather’ immediately comes to mind. But Coppola isn’t Corleone – he’s more than that. He’s a visionary who predicted that digital cameras – no larger than one’s hand – would allow anyone to make movies. And then set up a studio, Zeotrope, to make his dreams a reality. This book presents the highs and lows of both his personal and professional life, as Coppola sets out to transform the process of making movies. Sam Wasson captures the larger-than-life figure of a man who pursued a vision of the world of movies and all the wonder of what that would be.
