LOS ANGELES 鈥� Actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt launched a new community-sourced video project today with his production company hitRECord and the 老澳门开奖结果, putting out a call for people to submit videos with their takes on the connections between technology and democracy. The submissions will be used for a series of collaborative short films about the subject.

Gordon-Levitt, who stars in the upcoming Oliver Stone film 鈥淪nowden鈥� as the NSA whistleblower, said that he is donating his entire acting fee from the movie to help facilitate the conversation about technology and democracy. Part of the fee will compensate those individuals whose contributions wind up being used in the finished hitRECord production. The remainder will be given to the 老澳门开奖结果 to support the organization鈥檚 work on free speech and digital privacy rights.

In a , Gordon-Levitt asks viewers to three questions:

• Is today鈥檚 technology good or bad for democracy?
• How might the technology of the future be bad for democracy?
• How might the technology of the future be good for democracy?

鈥淥ne thing you could talk about is what new technology means for privacy,鈥� Gordon-Levitt says in the video. 鈥淪ome people believe that the right to privacy is a cornerstone of democracy, and without privacy, we don鈥檛 really live in a free country. Other people, and especially perhaps people who are so open about their lives online anyway, don鈥檛 seem to mind being watched. So I鈥檓 curious how you feel about it.鈥�

Other topics people could talk about include freedom of expression, news, education, and anything else that they can think of, he said.

鈥淭here鈥檚 no right answer to these questions. In fact, the answers I鈥檓 most interested in are not the expert, political pundit, left-wing, right-wing, talking points kind of thing. I鈥檇 much rather hear a personal story or something that鈥檚 unique to you.鈥�

Gordon-Levitt and hitRECord will use the answers sent in to make a short documentary-style film exploring a wide range of perspectives on democracy in the digital age, as well as several other short films that will take a variety of forms, such as animated music videos or dramatizations of people鈥檚 experiences, depending on the contributions received.

The films will be produced using hitRECord鈥檚 signature collaborative process, which employs animators, musicians, writers, video editors, and other artists to work on the films through the hitRECord website and app.

The films will be completed in time for the theatrical debut of 鈥淪nowden,鈥� which is set for release in May.

鈥淚鈥檝e grown to care a lot about these questions since playing Edward Snowden,鈥� Gordon-Levitt said. 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 a really worthwhile conversation for us all to be having, so I鈥檓 going to be donating my acting fee from the Snowden movie to help facilitate that conversation. Some of that money will go towards this project, to pay the contributors, and the rest will be going to the 老澳门开奖结果 to support the work they do in the areas of technology and democracy.鈥�
