SOFIA COPPO
DIRECTOR
Born in New York City on May 14, 1971, Sofia Coppola is the daughter of the famous director of the The Godfather films, Francis Ford Coppola. As a child, Sofia would make small appearances in her father’s films. However, acting was not her calling. In 1993, she wrote a screenplay for The Virgin Suicides. In 2003, her acclaimed Lost in Translation was debuted; and it won an Academy Award in 2004 for Best Original Screenplay. In 2006, she launched Marie Antoinette. In 2010, she became the first American woman to win a Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Her directorial style focuses more on the emotional connections of her characters rather than the actual plot of the movie. Coppola’s style also includes long camera takes, close-ups, evocative mood and tone through the chosen color schemes and music she uses in her films, and themes of alienation, ennui, fame and fashion and postfeminism. Her directing engages the audience to live in the character’s moments and emotions.

Beau Rivage is a waterfront casino resort in Biloxi, Mississippi, USA. It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International. Beau Rivage was rebuilt and re-opened in 2006, a year after Hurricane Katrina. The Beau Rivage hotel is the tallest building in Mississippi. The term “Beau Rivage” is French for “beautiful shore.” The Beau Rivage, with 1,740 rooms, opened in March 1999. At that time of its opening, it was the largest hotel and casino in the United States outside of Nevada. The casino was located on a series of floating barges as required by local law confining all casinos to mobile marine vessels at the time of the resort’s construction. The hotel, restaurants, parking garage, and associated facilities were constructed on land. The height of the 29-floor hotel-casino is 346 ft (105 m). Beau Rivage has won every major local, regional, and state award available for outstanding community service including the Governor’s Cup Award for Outstanding Large Business on July 10, 2003.
