The Sunday Times profiled Bard alumna Gia Coppola ’09, whose feature film The Last Showgirl premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The film, which stars Pamela Anderson, follows a showgirl who has to reconsider her life when her show closes. Coppola told the Times that the film came together like a “divine intervention,” particularly Anderson’s casting, of whom Coppola said “no one else could be this character.”
Coppola studied photography at Bard and got her start shooting films for fashion brands. She moved on to assist the costume departments in family films before eventually making her first movie, Palo Alto, in 2013. She also recently shot short film-ads for jewelry company Mejuri. Throughout many of her projects, especially her newest film, she is interested in “how society confines women in all different generations.”
