"What do I do? I don't really know what I do," says Cooper. "Every day feels like a new adventure."
Working more on the managerial side of things, Cooper says he makes sure everything is functioning at the highest level — whether that be keeping crew members on track, ensuring cast and crew is happy and excited to work, Cooper is the driving force that keeps the movie heading towards completion.
"(Once filming starts) My day starts around 5 a.m.," he says. "I need to be the first on set and the last leaving set. I need to make sure everyone knows where they're supposed to be and what time they're supposed to be there. I'm basically putting out fires on a continuous basis."
