BYOL Episode 50 - Nora Skinner

WE MADE IT TO 50! 

Dave's guest this week is Oscar-nominated executive producer Nora Skinner (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl)! 

Dave and Nora met in high school, where they both took part in the vaunted Manhasset High School Theatre program. Since then, Nora has climbed the ladder of success as a film producer, working with Miramax and Scott Rudin Productions before gaining her biggest success as an Executive Producer with Indian Paintbrush.  She tells Dave what inspired her love for acting, how her college mentors steered her towards producing and directing, and how she found her footing in the business.  She also shares great stories about working with Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Hugh Jackman, and Connie Britton, and tells Dave what it's like to be nominated for an Academy Award! 

Plus, Dave commemorates Episode 50 by looking ahead to Episode 51 and beyond!
