How To Make It With Emily Cappello

Writer, director, actor, and Grammy Award-winning musician Nora Kirkpatrick joins Emily to discuss her directorial debut, 'A Tree Fell in the Woods.' We get into Nora's unconventional route to directing, why she initially wanted to be a paleontologist, and Nora reveals what it was like working with an all-star cast, including Josh Gad, Alexandra Daddario, Daveed Diggs, and Ashley Park. Emily is so engrossed in the conversation that she completely forgets to ask Nora about her stint on one of Emily's favorite shows, 'The Office.'
