Coppola's granddaughter turns director
Gia joins the family business by making her first short film

Legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola's granddaughter Gia has become the latest member of the family to follow in the director's footsteps, as she has shot her first short film.

The 23-year-old, whose father is Coppola's eldest son Gian-Carlo, has taken her first steps into the movie business by making a promo for fashion designer Zac Posen, reports dailystar.co.uk.

Her directorial debut will promote Posen's collection for US store Target, and the designer is convinced Gia is the next big talent to emerge from the Coppola family.

"She's going to be the next Coppola force to be reckoned with. They just genetically, aesthetically, have something - they're able to capture magic," said Posen.

Coppola's daughter Sofia, Gia's aunt, has forged her own successful directing career, winning her first Oscar for 2003s Lost in Translation.
