Martin Scorsese's Advice To Beginners - "You Can Do Anything, Make Your Own Industry" 

'They can't tell you how to make movies, you have to have it in you'

"DONT PAY ATTENTION TO THE INDUSTRY. DO UR OWN THING" Best damn advice ever!

I did my own industry. My film was seen by mom and two friends (who acted in film). I even got an award from mom. A piece of cake.

He's still young inside. You can tell. Nice guy.

I wish the universe would grant Scorsese another 100 years of youth and vigor, as we need another 100 years of his movies and wisdom

He's talking to an English/British person and he says "it doesn't have to cost 100 million POUNDS." I love that he used the local currency to make his point and didn't say dollars.

Genius filmmaker!

Finally an old master who doesn't curse and wish away the new ways of film making.

He’s truly a godfather of film and I’m happy to be alive to witness what impact he is making, real time. I’m happy he’s not history yet and he’s still alive to be a real influence on me.

Make your own industry. Answer to my question!! Really inspiring!!

I feel so weirdly connected to Marty.

I love how he talks about industry, but I think that also applies for film school and the indie films sector. I see my classmates trying too hard to make movies like "In mood for love" or "Drive my car", but I just feel something odd, like they are doing something they really are not feeling at all, like if they thought they have to make that kind of cinema to become someone

This is highly intellectual advice indeed. It's not about the equipment, technology, preferences of audiences, and how things are being done in the past but how given the possibilities available today will you be able to tell the story.

The film God has spoken!

2:13 he mentions Ealing Studios, that's where my parents met :)

Fucking love Scorsese. He really loves movies and never changes. 100 more my friend.

When they say Young guys,...they mean any of us old guys who still aren't done tryin.

Through and through, THE MASTER....and supremely nail-hitting advice.

This advice can be applied to video gaming as well. Lately I've been been thinking about what game design possibilities did we miss out on from previous generations because developers didn't maximize the potential of the tech at the time? In the realm outside of AAA gaming, it's all free reign for the aspiring game designer. I'd love to play a modern video game with N64 graphics.

I know probably everyone has this dream, but I hope I can make at least one film Scorsese sees.

Advice not given in this interview: spend time making the audio great. Nothing ruins a project - nor marks it as amateurish/makes it unwatchable - like poor sound. Record double-system - do not use the mic in a camera.

The irony of what you said about filmmaking is we can't make film on film anymore and there's a particular quality and look to real film opposed to high definition digital fake image ... It's sad we don't have an option

Yup...it's like artists of 500 years ago had what they had (paint, ink, paper, marble, music, whatever...)....100 years ago, film came along....now it's digital...people use what's available to express themselves, that's as simple as it is :)

He's a Great man! Phenomenal Artist!

I have only acted barely. I feel so many more important stories need to be told. I would like to be a part of this challenge.

Thank you Martin Scorsese🏙

Man, this guy is among many things savvy.

he makes it sound easier than it is

Thank you for this video! :)

Thanks Marty!

Sergio Leone - Akira Kurosawa - Martin Scorsese The greatest directors!

Thank you

So much important information in just 4 minutes.

The Legend *************

Yes he's very very good... Thanks.

As a film-director was one of the best advices I ever heard.

Great Advice. Thanks.

The greatest to ever do it, a true standup man; a good fella.

thanks pop.

Martin is number 1👑

With the cost of digital recording collapsing around Mirrorless DSLRs and LED lighting and ProRes RAW and distribution over RU-vid, Vimo and whatever host you can click to... it’s really within reach of anyone with a good idea and commitment.

Thanks

2:45 Prophetically useful advice from a master. :)

Nice that you gave a shoutout to Hague Manoogian.

Rare footage of Scorsese speaking at normal speed.

I knew he wasn't going to answer the second question with only one film.

top 3 directors of all time, Raging Bull is a masterpiece

Martin Scorsese, you the best!

The music at the end is from Terminator 2

Best advice, make your own industry...

it’s good wisdom

0:13 me when the teacher calls on me in class to answer a math question

This guy is a genius

fail now, for to learn from failure is a great thing

"Make your own industry" You got it.

Careful what you advise, marty

Yep. Honestly, I get sick of seeing interviews with Hollywood producers who give advice about getting into the film industry. I've heard so many of them say how you need to work for free, how you have to be prepared to kiss the a*ses of those working above you to (maybe) get a job and gain this mythical 'experience' they speak so much about. Obviously one has to work hard, that's true with anything. But still, there are many opportunities out there nowadays. I get that Scorsese's advice is targeted more at Directors or writers, but I do wonder how many future film editors or sound designers are currently working doing RU-vid videos.

Maybe it’s the glasses but I can’t not think of the old guy from Up now..

I know I've got to get it done. I just can't find anyone to help me get it done.

Does anyone know what films and filmmakers he’s referencing after he mentions British films? I’m trying to search for them but I don’t think I’m spelling anything correctly

You always have to be wholesome and excellent. For Greeks.

Marty your a G

Inspiring! Now I feel like buying champagne and tissues, for some reason.

Super

I think my husband was associated with Greeks, so the Drama Track.

"They can't tell you how to make the movie.. You have to have it in you." - #MartinScorsese

If you continue to hear all the masters, all the really important filmmakers of our time, like Scorsese, Scott, Nolan... all of them, they tell you the same, just fu·"% do it. No matter what, how, do it. Nowadays we have cameras even on our phones that are 100 times better that some cameras in the 60s or 70s. There is no excuse.

one of these days I will be doing a new film industry .

Scorsese is a god.

Think big. Now, think bigger.

The way he keeps looking at the camera is slightly unnerving. It's like I'm sitting there pointing a gun at him during the interview, and he's glancing to see if I'm pleased by his answers.

I have seen 100s of film lectures and masterclass of directors , actors and writers. I learnt nothing from them. They inspired me to do it but taught me nothing. And then I went ahead and shot 10 minutes of footage in 6 hrs with 4 of my friends and a guy who had a dslr. I wrote the script and they all worked for free by their own will. We had no food on set and worked nonstop without breaks. Needless to say the end product looked like an introductory clip to a cancelled pilot. But everything I know about filmmaking or production or anything really came from the experience and not from RU-vid.

Greg sestero to Tommy wiseau: I wish we can just make our own movie. Tommy: that great idea! :)

Realist shit ever

Marty: To put this in laymans terms on my advice to beginners on making the best damn movies ever is always hire de niro, pesci & decaprio for your movies. Because as long as they act in your movies it's fucking awesome! And make sure they curse a lot and there's a lot of violence and killings. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 No insult to marty's intelligence. Just a complimentary joke for marty. I love all his movies!

1. Have a script that is poorly written in 2 weeks. 2. Craigslist ad for 'Cinematographer' yet only want them because they own a camera. Pay them credit only. 3. Hire a fat person that says they do makeup, when they really just have a makeup kit from Kmart. Pay them credit only. 4. Promise everybody the moon and future work. Never call them again. 5. Shoot the movie without permits so crucial scenes can't be filmed cause it got shut down. Final project is not watchable. 6. Hire editor because they own an apple laptop and know nothing about editing. 7. Audio. Are you kidding me? 8. Say budget is 50k but only takes 10k to make. Profit the rest. 9. Crafty - mcdonalds runs at 3am. 10. 15-20hr days for no pay. PROFIT.

Thanks Mr. Scorsese, reverse psychology would have worked either but thank you.

🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏

2:45 - 2:53 Like Casey Neistat.

"You Can Do Anything, Make Your Own Industry" Yeah right. Easier said than done

STEM probably represents Assigned-Latin people.

Is the background like photoshopped in or green screen? Or am I tripping the fuck out?

Is great advice and he is a hardworking genius, but boomers had many more options when they started than todays youth.

I can't believe there's a box of kleenex in the shot... not a mistake the interviewee would ever make.

Greeks' pain is SO much more painful and lasting-40-years-probably.

True Story: A few years ago, a friend of mine who has been shooting films all over the world for years, everything you can think of, related that a young director friend of his, won some sort of monetary prize sponsored via Scorsese's company and saw Scorsese at some festival. He decided to walk up and introduce himself to Scorsese and thank him, though someone there had cautioned him against it because Scorsese was a very temperamental and unpredictable man with a bad temper. Nonetheless, he felt thanking the director was the right thing to do. So during a break, he walked up past the crowds and introduced himself by name and explained who he was. He said the Scorsese immediately flew into a rage and the result of simply thanking him, that Scorsese managed to have the monetary prize removed. That's the sort of bastard Scorsese is in real life. So many of these directors are borderline sociopaths and bs artists when the cameras are not on, and Scorsese is probably high at the top of this list of directors who are just real dickheads.

Hollywood wouldn't like the movie if there isn't enough DiVeRsiTy

I don't agree with him on Marvel not being cinema but I respect his work.

this great man make it always looks simple and clean not like some cynical complicated fucks godard also make it look fun !

what is that ridiculous shot

Is that Martin Scorsese or Woody Allen?? LOL

Don't take any advice from geniuses. They don't know how hard it is for those who aren't them. That "follow your dream" mentality may lead you into a spiral of disappointment and wasted decades of your life. Water it down with realism.
