Gordon-Levitt Directs - Joan Finch

Just read an article on Variety.com about Julianne Moore taking a part in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's new film. Variety couldn't confirm much about the project. No name. No plot. But the Wondergods of the International Movie Data Base have it down as Don Jon's Addiction. Sorta lame but alright. The storyline imdb has is about a modern Don Juan trying to be selfless. 

Written by and starring the man himself along with Scarlett Johansson this will be a directing first for Joseph. So uninspiring storyline and lame title be damned, I'm still excited to hear more about it. 

There are a half dozen films in the works this year with Joseph Gordon-Levitt including the new Batman sequel and a Lincoln bio-pic. (Not the vampire one)

And suddenly I'm wanting to rent Inception. Huh.

HitRECord, Collaboration Medium - Joan Finch

So I was surfing indiewire.com for any new news and I ran across something brilliant.   Joseph Gordon-Levitt (yeah, him) heads a creative 'think tank' style production company called HitRECord where everyone and anyone is invited to contribute and collaborate on projects of all sorts together. They've already produced Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, obviously a collection of member made short stories currently being turned into "tiny films", and RECollection: Volume 1, a collection of music and films they made last year.

The article with way more info and a video intro by the main man himself can be found here.

This is a great opportunity to work on projects with people around the world and produce something complete spontanious and beautiful. Its like a much bigger all-encompassing version of what we'll be trying to accomplish at Obscura Operandi. Fantastic. Check out the article at indiewire.com with the link above. There's an interview with Gordon-Levitt about the founding and success of HitRECord.

I've also included the link to the HitRECord website. Explore.
