  • What lessons from the screenplay can we draw from one of our generation’s greatest directors - Martin Scorsese? From his movies Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Mean Streets and The Departed. In making movies, everyone from the crew to the director is a storyteller. The screenwriter and screenplay are just the beginning. Besides directing, Scorsese is always very immersed in the writing process and always collaborates closely with his screenwriters.
    In the video we feature Martin Scorsese’s greatest tips on writing, directing and cinematic storytelling as a whole.
    Tip 1 - 0:34 - Write what you know
    Tip 2 - 1:51 - Have confidence and passion while promoting yourself shamelessly
    Tip 3 - 2:52 - Write with music in mind
    Tip 4 - 3:58 - Write empathetic characters that the audience will care about
    Tip 5 - 5:35 - Watch a lot of movies and study them for visual literacy
    Tip 6 - 8:12 - Include your family when starting out
    Tip 7 - 11:08 - Find humanity in your anti-heroes
    Tip 8 - 12:08 - Use anger for dedication and humor to get through
    Tip 9 - 13:27 - Make your own industry
    Tip 10 - 14:52 - Use projects to learn more about yourself and important life questions

    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 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.

    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.

    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 .

    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
