American Zoetrope

American Zoetrope, also known as Zoetrope Studios, is a privately run film studio, centred in San Francisco and founded by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas. Opened on December 12th, 1969, American Zoetrope was an early adopter of digital filmmaking, including some of the earliest uses of HDTV. Coppola named the studio after a zoetrope he was given in the late 1960s by the filmmaker and collector of early film devices, Mogens Skot-Hansen. The company was also known as Zoetrope Studios from 1979 until 1990. American Zoetrope is now owned entirely by Coppola's son and daughter, directors Roman Coppola and Sofia Coppola
