# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born November 17, 1942, Scorsese grew up Italian-American in New York City and earned an MA from NYU in 1968. His debut Who's That Knocking at My Door landed at Chicago's festival in 1967, but Mean Streets in 1973 announced the style: slow motion, freeze frames, graphic violence, guilt. Taxi Driver won Cannes in 1976 and locked in Robert De Niro for eight more films — Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, The Irishman. Later decades brought Leonardo DiCaprio into the fold for Gangs of New York, The Departed (which finally won him an Oscar), The Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon. He's also directed rock docs, HBO series, and founded three film preservation nonprofits. Five of his films sit in the National Film Registry.
