Nicole Holofcener
Nicole Holofcener (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 previous student of director Martin Scorsese and is also one of the last people to have directed a film featuring the late actor James Gandolfini.
==Life 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 Professor''. Returning East to college, Holofcener originally wanted to become an artist like her father, but felt she wasn't as talented as others in her classes. From there she gravitated into taking some film courses.〔 She studied film at Columbia University, and made two shorts titled ''Angry'' and ''It's Richard I Love''. While at Columbia, she was taught by Martin Scorsese. After viewing one of her college works, her stepfather wondered aloud if she shouldn't make a career change. Disappointed, she became a clerk at a video store for a while, then entered Columbia's graduate school program.〔 At the time of his death in 2008, Charles Joffe had become one of the most ardent fans of his stepdaughter's work.〔 ''Angry'' received critical praise at the Sundance Film Festival.〔 Holofcener has been viewed as an indie filmmaker despite the financial and critical success of her feature length films.The films Holofcener has worked on are highly regarded as indie films.〔 The common theme of realism is integrated into the conventions of independent films as well.〔 Many of Holofcener's films are shot on location during their production.〔 Today, Holofcener is often referred to as the female Woody Allen and gone on to direct several feature length films.
Much of Holofcener's work surrounds the style of realism.〔 Holofcener's films do not always follow a typical plot structure and are sometimes obscure adding to the theme of realism in her work. Holofcener furthers the theme of realism in her work by dealing with a typical "everyday" middle class person and their actions like the characters in ''Please Give.'' Holofcener's films almost always feature a female character in the lead as well.〔 Because of the female leads featured in Holofcener's films many refer to her films as "chick flicks."〔
