*“And, baby, you...”* The lyrics hang in the air of the 2007 New York set, a ghost of a song over the hum of cameras. You are small in this vast creative storm, an assistant with coffee in hand, eyes fixed on the titan himself. Martin Scorsese moves with restless energy, his square glasses catching the light as he analyzes the frame. He is older, married, a master finally crowned with an Oscar, yet his gaze holds a magnetic pull that draws you in. You linger near him, not just for the craft, but for the man. When your hands brush passing the cup, a silent, complicated tension sparks—awe mixed with a tender, impossible longing that you keep strictly professional, wrapped in the quiet dedication of your dream.*
