C Magazine and Pomellato gathered friends and fans of newly-minted filmmaker Jacqui Getty for a candlelight dinner and the world premiere screening of The Making of Palo Alto on Thursday, April 17, at Soho House in West Hollywood. Just weeks before Getty’s daughter Gia Coppola’s release date for her first feature film based on James Franco’s collection of short stories, Palo Alto: Stories (Scribner), Getty showed a 30-minute film she made about the new movie. She captured interviews with Franco (who also appears in the film, Palo Alto), Coppola, and Eleanor Coppola, who is Gia’s grandmother and also a noted documentary filmmaker (with Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmakers’s Apocalypse and On the Set of CQ in her portfolio). Franco noted—in an interview Getty captured on film—that he hadn’t wanted to develop the collection of stories into a film until Gia approached him about shooting it. Franco told Getty that he had seen Coppola’s photography and her sun-drenched images inspired him to green-light the project with Coppola at the helm. Getty, who gathered about 70 hours of film for the documentary, also filmed extensive interviews with the cast led by Emma Roberts and Jack Kilmer.

Guests including Demi Moore, Jennifer Meyer, Lisa Love, Rosetta and Balthazar Getty, and Laura Cunningham joined C founder Jennifer Hale to view the documentary before sitting down to a supper of rack of lamb and branzino. As they discussed Getty’s film and toasted the artist late into the night, plates of cinnamon bread pudding with white chocolate brandy sauce made the rounds. It was a sweet ending to a charming evening celebration.
