Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, HITRECORD ON TV! is a variety show that showcases live performances, short films, music, animation, and other content produced in a collaborative environment at http://www.hitrecord.org/ Each 30-minute episode has its own theme, like: The Number One, which focuses on stories of first times, unity and solitude; Fantasy, which includes a fanciful kick line with guest Tony Danza, an exploration into the neuroscience of fantasy and an animated musical twist on "Beauty and the Beast"; Trash, which includes Joe singing a rock song saluting freaks and geeks, filmmaker John Waters offering his taste for trashy, and a pulpy short film about a trash collector abducted by aliens; and more. Plus, portions of this series were filmed live in front of and by a studio audience at the Masonic Lodge in Los Angeles (June 30, 2013), The Orpheum in Los Angeles (August 10, 2013), and many more locations. On the eve of the TV premiere, HITRECORD ON TV had a screening at Sundance Film Festival on January 17, showcasing the first three installments of the series, marking only the second time that a television series has been selected to participate in the Festival.
