A New York native, Fleischman had his first encounter with Scorsese as a student at New York University, where the filmmaker was an instructor. Soon, Fleischman was working on a couple of temp mixes for Scorsese on. While that 1980 film was eventually mixed in L.A., Fleischman returned as a second mixer onalongside Dick Vorisek, often working late into the night with Scorsese. "That was really the first time that Marty and I worked together," Fleischman says.
