Well-known director Sofia Coppola has talked about making films on a low budget as she, as a female director, does not tend to receive the huge budgets that her male counterparts receive. in conversation with BBC news The creator of Priscilla: Elvis and Me shared how she had to get creative with the film due to its relatively small budget of $20 million.
“I see all these people getting hundreds of millions of dollars, and I’m fighting for a tiny fraction of it,” Coppola complained. He added: “I think it’s just a remnant of the culture of this business. It’s frustrating but I’m always fighting. “I’m happy that I can make my films independently and find people who believe in them.”
Another problem the director faced while working on the movie Priscilla was that Elvis Presley’s music could not be used in the project. He originally wanted three songs from King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, but knew there was a chance he might not get the rights. Instead, he turned to another musician’s melody.
Coppola explained her choice: “Having Dolly Parton at the end, having a female voice at the end, is very important to me.” Parton’s song “I Will Always Love You” was played at the end of the movie.
