“In a City” will see Gordon-Levitt take to the streets in cities around the world to explore and capture the daily lives of the people who live there.
“When you’re creating art, it’s important to know that your tools will match your ambition, and that you can rely on the technology to enable, not limit your artistic vision,” said Joseph Gordon-Levitt. “I’m looking forward to filming with Samsung NX1 and eager to work with the hitRECord community to create something truly special.”
