I got a reply letter from Martin Scorsese about 1994/5. I was wanting them to read my screenplay. It was a ‘thanks but no thanks’ letter but kind and generous and kept me going. Having received quite a few ‘no’s’... I shot it it 1997. World’s first digital feature I think. It won ‘best of the fest’ at ReelHeart IFF, Toronto in 2005. Yes it took that long. I’ve always tried to be kind and supportive of other filmmakers, we are all in it together, it’s what we do. Scorsese is a gem.
What's the film called? I am curious to see it.
@@davidunderwood1773 Yeah me too
@@davidunderwood1773 I'll see if I can send you it..It was initially called 'Fluffy Little Bunnies'.. then changed to 'Bad Day'.. as some people were mistaking it for a 'Disney' film..There's a few teasers.. on my site here...many years back. I have recently taken it down and am tweaking the colour grade. Then I'll put it up wherever I can. Send me your email and I'll send you the 2005 version. Cheers, Dom.

Martin's mother seems like a lot of fun to be around, that whole bit felt like being warmly welcomed into a friends house and being included into the family
What I love about these commentaries on writing, is that not all of the advice is about writing itself but is philosophical. Like Scorsese's comment, "Use projects to learn more about yourself and the important life questions". Subscribing.
Exactly. Well said 🙌💯✅
@@OutstandingScreenplays Are there schools where you can learn how to write screenplays just like you directing schools etc.?
@@markant9534 of course,there are hundreds of school....it depend where you live
Oh his mum is just adorable 😍 love watching these videos! Please keep it up 👍🏼
I agree! I love his mom! She reminds me so much of my late grandmother 👵🏼😄😇
De Niro look like Martin mother)
Agreed
Really love scorsese films, but never taken the time to look into his filmmaking process in depth ! I really loved the genuine insight i received from this my friend !
One of the greatest director of all time.
Thank you for this compilation.
Its great!
And he gets better.
That is a really amazing selection of tips from one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Number 2 is great, I would never guess Scorsese would go out and promote himself shamelessly, it doesn't fit his character, but I guess in the beginning everyone has to promote themselves if they want to succeed.
I love these stories. They are as entertaining as the movies themselves
This is a wonderful channel...keep them coming 😍😍😍❤❤❤

Hello, I am in the process of buying a filming camera, is there a particular one you recommend? Thanks a million. Luis
AMAZING video. Thanks!!
A great director! One of a kind!
He's a legend
Great video. Thanks 🙌
the legend himself... big inspiration to my career amongst others. Goodfellas 1 of my favorite movies too.... #LegendScorsese
Great vid ‼️
What can I say . I have seen I believe everything Martin Scorsese has made . Super interesting watching his directorial film journey and how it has evolved. He most certainly goes down in the history books as a Master Craftsman who has developed a signature especially in his favorite genre of film . I understand in a large way of what he means about coming from working class and things he saw or knew about growing up . I am a fellow New Yorker who has experienced the same .
Th e stories are very real as well as the people in his movies .
I am just looking forward towards more of his work .
Good info! Love it!:)
A real inspiration.
Great video Marty is definitely someone I would like to meet and collaborate with.
Great man 👌👍
wonderful italian mum !!
great advices guys. Thx
Gotta love all the old Charlie Rose interview clips, little did Marty know the guy interviewing him was as--if not more--monstrous than the gangsters he was putting in his films.
Got Scorsese‘s masterclass ad before the video
Great Man!
I love Martin.
I’m literally doing all of these in writing my own script!:)
Cannot wait watching your vision 👌
Hello Nicholas, I am in the process of buying a filming camera, is there a particular one you recommend? Thanks a million. Luis
@@thepedestulz the one I see used the most is a black magic. It was used on the big movie I did last year and my camera guy uses one as well!:)
@@NicholasAndrewRice THanks
@@thepedestulz you’re welcome! We just came out with our first trailer for the script I wrote! Check it out!:) We used a black magic!:) czcams.com/video/1JOpWEMaPNQ/video.html
I thought the video was in high speed... XD. Besides that, no one can deny the legacy and the legend of the master Scorsese.
Keep the great work up. Awesome channel.
Thank you
Please please please do a compilation of satyajit ray!
Marty's mom is gold!
Her mom reminds me of my mom. How adorable strong funny loving woman! ❤
Right?! She is Outstanding 💟 And they seem to have an amazing relationship 😍
@@OutstandingScreenplays Absolutely! When my mom and I fight we fight hard but we have a very strong loving relationship ❤️👦🏻👵🏻❤️
@@BestAudiovisualTricks 😍💯🙌
Loved this, and all your videos truly!!!!! Can I ask what music is playing in the background?
Hello, I am in the process of buying a filming camera, is there a particular one you recommend? Thanks a million. Luis
I like number 3 and number 9 Music and movies do go hand in hand.I do think the film industry probadly does need to have a new system because how many more remakes and reboots of the same thing all the time.
Outstanding screenplays is truly outstanding...

HAPPY EASTER ✝️💜🕊
I like this film, he shoe a lot of our real life etc.
I visit the bourse in Frankfurt , I was invited and saw a lot
Martin Scorsese is such an inspirational filmmaker but I can't stop watching his eyebrows
Always dark in the lower east side probably because the tall buildings block sunlight? I assume that's what he meant but the interviewer wasn't even listening and interrupted him to ask the next question.
But blocked natural light from buildings is a very underrated reason why living in the middle of cities can be very depressing
Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤❤
his mom is adorable, and she's a natural storyteller herself.
Scorsese for the president!
Love the video, hope one day I will make a movie, I love movie
For a man who knowns nothing of lighting, Casino always had an amazing glow and beams of light...
If internet was there during Scorsese's time, he definitely would have been a pirate.
I need aronofsky, Alfonso and Dennis villeneuve interview.
All 3 coming soon!
Thanks and make it faster.
He's the next best after Kubrick.
These are the 2 I want to follow from not phony Tyler Perry.
❤️❤️🔥
I says to myself, "I'm gonna be smarter than him." :D
Justin Thomas
yeaaaa
Martin makes good movies
Martin makes amazing movies.
Can we have Martin play Enzo Ferrari in a biopic?
There seems to be more tips for directing than screenwriting in this video.
Adiós.
video movies new York city man martin Scorsese and Francie daughter and Helen wife
Martin Scorsese is slowly merging into Woody Allen.
Except Marty doesn't write most of his scripts.
5. Watch a lot of movies, eh? Like COMIC BOOK MOVIES? Oh, but those aren't real movies, he would know, he's never watched any.
Thumb down for taking his mom out of movies & $28 4 mean streets !👎
😆 I love his mom.
