About Gia Coppola

Representing five generations of the Coppola family in the film industry, Gia Coppola is not only an accomplished filmmaker, but also a talented photographer. Born and raised in Los Angeles by her mother Jacqui Getty, Gia graduated from Bard College in 2009 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. Her artistic tendency was to use the camera, to casually document her life. When asked to be in a video by a friend, she declined. The friend then challenged her to make her own video instead, launching her into the ‘behind-the-camera action’ and following in the footsteps of her grandfather, her grandmother, her aunt Sofia Coppola, and her uncle Roman Coppola. Gia will follow up her 2013 directorial film debut, “Palo Alto” with the 2020 release of “Mainstream.”
