Creativity is power. Fresh ideas from unexpected places can push the tipping point from ‘business as usual’ to exceptional results. Has your business ever considered the need for a secret weapon to help break away from the familiar to find innovative solutions? Consider a concept consultant who is a specialist in applying creative inspiration to strategic problem solving:
Writer, director, producer, inventor, designer, & entrepreneur, Roman Coppola brings a unique skill set and unexpected point of view, honed by his many years in filmmaking. He specializes in conceiving inventive solutions to complex challenges and executing ideas which challenge.
He is an essential partner to directors such as Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola on films like “Isle of Dogs” & “Moonrise Kingdom” or “Lost in Translation” & “The Beguiled”. Having directed scores of music videos and hundreds of commercials (many for Fortune 500 companies) he is always at the forefront of culture and media.
When Amazon launched it’s streaming service, they reached out to Mr. Coppola who co-created their critically acclaimed series “Mozart In The Jungle”. When the Museum of Modern Art selected music videos to include in the permanent collection – Coppola’s “Funky Square Dance” was included.
With a Golden Globe win, and nominations for an Academy Award, Emmy, BAFTA, Writers Guild, Directors Guild, PGA and Grammy – it comes as no surprise that Mr. Coppola is a culturally savvy innovator with a reputation as an exceptional master creative collaborator.
Looking at problems from a filmmaker’s perspective—one asks: “Is the performance authentic?”
“Are the most talented people doing the job?”
“What more can be done to grab the audience?
Perhaps you’re familiar of Mr. Coppola’s work in cinema, but you may not be aware how his polymath talents are applied to consulting & concepting: He recently designed a sound stage complex for Sarasota’s Ringling College. as well as a karaoke nightclub for the upcoming Virgin Cruise Lines. He guides the popular fashion brand Pacific Tote Company, not to mention his work with the Coppola winery: guiding wine blends, packaging and marketing.
When Roman was tasked by Toyota to direct a commercial which had the unprecedented need to film a car at high speed in a completely white environment, it led to the creation of The Photobubble Company. This invention is now marketed as a patent-pending inflatable film enclosure providing a seamless, 360˚ filming environment.
At The Directors Bureau – Mr. Coppola’s acclaimed commercial and music video production company – he founded the “Special Projects” division which brings filmmakers, writers, technicians and designers together to provide creative problem-solving consultation for an unusually diverse clientele. In the movies, anything that can be dreamt can be made a reality and our deep contacts with expert specialists are a toolbox which can apply to projects in almost any medium.
Experienced filmmakers are expert in many creative disciplines but most importantly: creating and holding interest – STORYTELLING – the essential ingredient to engage an audience for any product or service.
If your business could make use of a conceptual thought leader with proven skills in a multitude of problem-solving techniques, consider collaborating with the man who Wes Anderson calls his “Swiss Army Knife”.
“I still don’t see how this fits into my business?”
