About the Jared Leto Interview
This Tuesday, the 4th of July, we are filming a massive portrait of America, capturing a single day in the life of this beautiful country in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
It’s an incredible opportunity to document the USA during a very important time in our country.
And we need your help.
We are asking you to film what’s important, impactful, challenging or inspiring to you.
It can be a single shot, a person, an entire event, or a compelling story - we want to see your America in all its imperfect glory.
When shooting, please try to be as brave, bold and creative as possible. The most compelling footage will be what makes it into the final portrait.
In addition, we would like you or your subject to look into the camera and answer the following questions.
- What is your name and where are you from?
- What does America mean to you?
- What does the American dream mean to you?
- What is the state of the country today?
- What are you afraid of?
- What are your hopes and dreams?
If there is anything else that you have the desire to say or share, please feel free.
Our goal is to create this portrait based on footage captured on a single day - July 4th, 2017 - but if there are events or images that transpire on another day that we feel we need to tell our story, we will include those.

When I was a kid I saw a book that National Geographic made where they hired photographers to shoot imagery of the USA over a single day. It made a big impact on me. When I was making this album certain themes kept coming up that made it clear there was an opportunity here to make a film like this.

As someone who wants to better achieve goals, how do you go about having such determination and drive to accomplish what you put your mind too?

It helps if you are doing something you are passionate about because you are always going to come up against doubt and fear. The passion or love for what you are doing will help you stay committed or focused on the work that needs to be done.
