Key Director Case Study

I have chosen to study the film director Martin Scorsese who is an American director born in 1942 whose career spans more than 53 years. Scorsese has also worked on many different projects as either a producer, screenwriter, or film historian. Scorsese has been a director for 59 credits, his most famous work includes The Wolf Of Wall Street, Goodfellas, The Departed and Shutter Island.

Martin Scorsese has won 136 awards, these include an Oscar and four Golden Globes. Plus has also been nominated for a further 196 awards, this is a result of a 53 year career. In addition to this Scorsese has already announced future projects he is working on, this includes The Irishman (2018) and The Snowman (2017).
Scorsese took his inspiration from classic Hollywood, the French new wave, and the New York underground movement of the early '60s; as he worked to bridge the gap between cinematic history and the future.
