Coppola's Baby
Coppola described Youth Without Youth as a very personal project of his. When it premiered at the Rome Film Festival in 2007, he reportedly asked people to find it interesting and consider seeing it more than once.Over 170 hours of footage were captured on a Son HDC-F900 digital video camera in high definition and Walter Murch edited the film entirely in Final Cut Pro. Murch was the first editor to cut a major motion picture on Final Cut Pro for Cold Mountain in 2003.
