Taking time out from filming Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, before they head over to Pittsburgh, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is bringing his HITRECORD.ORG project to the London's BFI for one night only.


Grab your cameras and head to BFI Southbank to join Joseph Gordon-Levitt for an interactive evening of original short films, live performance and collaborative RECording. hitRECord is an on-line, open collaborative production company of artists (43,000 and growing!) all under the direction of the company's founder, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. On hitRECord, artists are encouraged to contribute writing, photography, films, animations, music, any creative media in fact, which can then be utilised or remixed by other members in an open creative exchange. Following sell out events at Sundance and SXSW festivals hitRECord come to London for a special one off evening of movie watching and movie making. Are we RECording?

What is hitRECord?

"RegularJOE here. The old media tends to call me Joseph Gordon-Levitt, that being my name and all. Here in the new media, I hit that round red REC button on a regular basis.

HITRECORD.ORG is a project I started almost five years ago now, and in 2010, we evolved into a professional open collaborative production company. We create and develop art and media collaboratively here on our site. Even this introductory video is the remixed result of a great many contributions. So rather than just exhibiting and admiring each other's work as isolated individuals, we gather here to collectively work on projects together. Videos, writing, photography, music, anything -- we call them all RECords.

Now and then, when I think something we've made has come out especially well, I approach the traditional entertainment industry to turn our work into money-making productions; and then we share any profits with the contributing artists.started almost five years ago now, and in 2010, we evolved into a professional open collaborative production company.
