Nicole Holofcener

Nicole Holofcener (/ˈhɒləfˌsɛnər/; born March 22, 1960) is an American film and television director and screenwriter. She has directed five feature films, including Friends with Money and Enough Said as well as various television series. Holofcener was a student of director Martin Scorsese. 2Life and career Holofcener was born in New York City. The daughter of artist Lawrence Holofcener and set decorator Carol Holofcener, Nicole's parents divorced when she was one year old. When she was eight, her mother married film producer Charles H. Joffe, who moved the family to Hollywood. Since her stepfather produced Woody Allen's films, Nicole spent enough time on Allen's sets to be an extra in Sleeper and Take the Money and Run. Joffe was responsible for Holofcener's first "real" job in the movie industry: a production assistant on Woody Allen's A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy in 1982. She moved up to apprentice editor for Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). Holofcener's first experiences with film as a child left her either frightened or sad; she recalled her fright at Jerry Lewis's The Nutty Professo
