Delighted to share my chat with the inspiring, delightful, and Emmy nominated Coco Francini. An LA native, she began her career as a development intern, eventually becoming Quentin Tarantino’s assistant in 2011 on Django Unchained They formed a solid working relationship and she eventually returned as associate producer on The Hateful Eight.
She spent a season of her career as the VP of Activision Blizzard Studios where she led the creative development and production of film and TV content for the world’s largest video game and interactive media company, shepherding projects including the iconic Call of Duty game franchise.
Shortly after producing MRS. AMERICA for FX, she became a partner at Dirty Films, alongside Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton.
On top of her prolific producing career, Coco is also one of the brilliant brains behind the Proof of Concept Accelerator Grant, a collaboration between Dirty Films, Netflix, and the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. The grant is designed to accelerate the path for directors who give voice to the perspectives of women, trans and non-binary people. Eight filmmakers will receive $50,000 in funding to create short films that can act as springboards to feature films or TV series. Link in bio for me as the deadline is Friday 2/16.
Can't wait to hear your takeaway!
