The Company releases their Oscars iPad ad, featuring kids from Los Angeles County High School of the Arts making various films using only iPads. The ad has a voiceover of Scorcese’s commencement speech to the NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2014.

It’s the same for all you, all of us. Every step is a first step. Every brush stroke is a test. Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. So let the learning continue.

Martin Scorsese interview

Martin Scorsese sits down with O’Brien to promote his film Wolf of Wall Street. He talks about working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, his experience with Quaaludes and his new way of navigating film sets.

Scorsese on his experience with drugs:

At that time, they were legal and I was actually prescribed a Quaalude for fear of flying. When you took this pill, it was like a five-hour flight, you took that pill, you didn’t care where you were.
