Encountering every imaginable production problem, Francis Ford Coppola’s planned four-month shoot that started in March 1976 didn’t wrap until 238 days later, nearly destroying the life and career of its director. Coppola’s struggles to create his masterpiece of cinema were captured on 16mm film by his wife Eleanor.
MacDonald, now a Sequim resident, was on the set of “Apocalypse Now” with a still camera discreetly tucked under his arm. He will periodically spice up the screening with his on-set photographs and adventures.
