The dedication and effort he's poured into it over the decades is evident in every decision, including the selection of the Mitchell Building as a primary filming location.
EMC properties are thrilled to have their Mitchell Building play a role in the creation of what promises to be another Coppola masterpiece. The studio's facilities are designed to cater to high-profile productions like "Megalopolis," ensuring that every scene shot there is of the highest caliber.
As the world eagerly awaits the film's release, it's clear that both Coppola's dedication and the Mitchell Building's top-tier amenities will come together to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience.
