I came outside on my way to the grocery store and saw a manila envelope lying on the front stoop. Addressed to me. The return address label was pre-printed (a New York address), but my name was written out longhand. Curious, I opened it. There was a little white envelope inside, with my name – first and last – scrawled across it in cursive. Even more curious, I opened it and read the short note. It was about my video-essay for the Criterion release of Raging Bull. I was confused: Raging Bull won’t come out until July, so I wondered what random person could have seen it already. I thought, “Huh – maybe it’s from someone from Criterion? Like the video editor?” I squinted at the signature.
Then, I noticed the letterhead. And then I had to sit down.
Holy cow! That’s awesome. And what a kind thing to do.
I like the film noir shadows on the photo.
My main room becomes a private detective’s office in a film noir every day at around 4:30, 5.
and thank you! I love that he wrote an actual letter and not an email, although I would have “taken” the email too!
Oh Sheila! Too Awesome! Good on ya!
Thanks!
Holy moly.
Crazy, right?
I am so excited about this! It’s time genius met genius.
XOXO Stevie

Helena – thanks! I admit, I’m going to frame it.
Congrats on such a great souvenir. It was extremely generous of Mr. Scorsese to take the time, however brief, to write. I can only imagine the thrill.
