Distant Vision[1] [2] is an ongoing experimental film project by Francis Ford Coppola. Different versions of this production have been broadcast to limited audiences from the stages of Oklahoma City Community College on June 5, 2015,[3] and at UCLA School of Theater in July 2016.[4]

Coppola led the project as a proof of concept piece for a richer, more in-depth future live broadcast that will recount the struggles and triumphs of three generations of an Italian-American family set against the birth and growth of the invention of television.[5] [6]

Future

In 2024, Coppola plans to film more sequences for Distant Vision, financed with the box office of Megalopolis (2024).[7]
