In this Thursday, April 24, 2014 photo, writer-director Gia Coppola poses for a portrait in promotion of her film &quot;Palo Alto,&quot; in New York. Getting Coppola, the granddaughter of Francis and niece of Sofia, to join the family business of filmmaking was a hard sell. “I didn’t feel pressure from my family,” says the soft-spoken 27-year-old, whose first film “Palo Alto” opened last weekend. “I felt outsiders were always asking me if I was going into film and it deterred me.
