What is HITRECORD?

Founded and led by actor and artist Joseph Gordon-Levitt, HITRECORD is an open online community for creative collaboration. Users don’t just post about themselves and vie for attention; they work together on a variety of art and media projects that they couldn’t have completed on their own.

So far, HITRECORD has operated as a successful production company, winning an Emmy for its television show, partnering with numerous brands from Samsung and LG to the ACLU, paying contributing community members a total of nearly three million dollars.

With over 700,000 registered users, our next step is to evolve from a PRODUCTION COMPANY into a PLATFORM.

Our mission is to bring as many people as possible the experience of creativity through collaboration.
