Quoting from Francis Ford Coppola in an earlier post reminded me of something: I visited Arcosanti three times for A Life’s Work, and each time Coppola was mentioned. It seems he was doing research for a script he wrote, Megalopolis, “about an architect who builds a city within a city that demonstrates a human style of living that is approaching utopia.”
None of the Arcosanti folks gave me any inside information, only that he showed up with a lot of people and a lot of equipment. A lot of people and a lot of equipment is relative, especially when compared to A Life’s Work shooting crew and equipment, which would be, you know, me and the cinematographer and a Panasonic DVX 100 and a shotgun mic on a boom pole.
Do I feel inadequate? Nah.
