Some pretty big news was announced today — I'm gonna direct a movie I wrote! It may be the biggest announcement of my life and I'm super excited about it. :oD
I wanted to take a minute and discuss what this news means for us at hitRECord. This feature project is going to be a traditionally produced film. One day I aspire to do an entire feature film using hitRECord.org's open-collaborative creative process. However, I think it is important to have experience directing a feature in the traditional way. I do hope the hitRECord.org community will be involved in this project some how, in various ways — and, I'll discuss that soon when the time comes...
But, what does this mean for hitRECord while I'm directing this feature? Well, we've been planning for this internally for quite a while. hitRECord has grown a lot as a production company. And we've outgrown the infrastructure we built two years ago for hitRECord to operate with. We've proven ourselves — creatively and businesss-wise. So, IT IS TIME TO EXPAND! Wheras it has been a mostly full-time job for our team, it'll now be a very full-time full time job for our team. I'm going to be hiring more people (we're job creators!) and I think we're going to be able to operate more efficiently.
In the past, hitRECord has had more opportunity than we've been capable of taking on - and that's a good thing. It's time to expand to help realize our full potential. We've been planning hitRECord's growth for a while now to coincide with my feature film project. What we're doing here at hitRECord won't falter, it will accelerate. In the coming weeks, we'll get into the specifics about how everything will work. I can't wait to share some of this stuff with you.
I was telling Jared yesterday that the work we've been doing here at hitRECord — the constant collaboration and creative output — makes me feel like I'm trained and ready for the marathon that is directing a feature film. Thank you for that.
And, thanks again.
The best is yet to come...

Here is the raw footage that I took of our conversation on the streets of NYC the early morning that Zuccotti Park was raided by the NYPD during the Occupy Wall Street protests.

Raw footage that I RECorded on the early morning of November 15th, 2011, when the NYPD broke up Occupy Wall Street protests in NYC.
I finally went and RECorded a few hours of Occupy Wall Street footage. I'd like to gather a whole bunch of Occupy records. Contribute your photos and videos of the movement. Contribute your thoughts in written form or talk into your camera from home. Write a song or a poem. Draw a cartoon. You know, be creative.
All of my raw footage is going to be uploaded soon so check that out once it's there!
Thanks again <3

In the middle of the night last night, NYPD decided to raid Zuccotti Park where the #OWS occupation had been centered, pretty much since it began. I was heading to bed when I heard about it, but instead decided to grab my camera and head over there. I ended up RECording about 3 hours raw footage. This is just a small sampling of some of it. I'll be releasing more soon.
