Scorsese directed the pilot for "Vinyl" written by Terence Winter and George Mastras, with Mick Jagger producing and Mastras as showrunner. The series stars Bobby Cannavale as Richie Finestra, founder and president of a top-tier record label, set in 1970s New York City's drug-and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out, all told through the eyes of Finestra trying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound. Filming began on July 25, 2014. Co-stars include Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde, Juno Temple, Andrew Dice Clay, Ato Essandoh, Max Casella, and James Jagger. On December 2, 2014, "Vinyl" was picked up by HBO. The series lasted one season. Scorsese has acted as executive producer of several indie films, like the 2014 "The Third Side of the River" (directed by his protege Celina Murga), another 2014 film "Revenge of the Green Dragons" (co-directed by Andrew Lau, whose film "Infernal Affairs" inspired "The Departed"), as well as "Bleed for This" and "Free Fire".
