I just found out about Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s hitRECord project on Twitter.  One of my friends mentioned a new short film that was shown at Sundance. You can see it below:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt showed ” Morgan M. Morgansten’s Date with Destiny” at Sundance to explain his new concept.  Over 180 regular Joes and a few well-known filmmakers contributed to the making of the film via internet.

Joseph Explains hitRECords concept in more detail:

Here’s another film I found on youtube, that uses HitRECord’s process:

I was fortunate enough to meet JGL at a fashion show years ago.  He’s one of the most creative, charismatic, and kind guys I’ve ever met.He really believes in his work.

Around the time I first met him, he had just finished work in a movie called Manic, and invited me to a premiere screening and after party.  I had never heard of the film, as it was pretty low budget and had no publicity. Joseph is brilliant in the film. He plays a mental patient, alongside Zooey Deschanel. She’s also very good in the film. I’m really surprised the acting in this movie didn’t get more attention.

Manic had a very limited budget, and there was no money left to throw a premiere party. So, Joseph used his own money to pay for an amazing party at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. Isn’t that the sweetest? He’s really a great guy—and SOOOOO talented.

I’m so excited to start collaborating on a project at hitRECord.org
