I’ve been complaining about my master thesis so much lately that even I am getting tired of hearing about it.
No more talk of me being tired. No more ‘woe me, life is hard’-shit.
I am going to fake it until I make it.
And believe me I’m going to make it.
Hand-in is in 71 days, so let’s get down to business.
I’m writing a case-study about hitREcord.org
hitRECord is an open collaborative production company that has produced several short films, books, posters, t-shirts, etc. It is directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I think the mention of his name, merits a picture of him.
hitRECord is currently producing a TV-show to be aired on Pivot, a new cable network, in the spring of 2014, and from what I can gather, they are on track to deliver eight episodes as promised.
Showing their content on a cable network is bound expose hitRECord to a new audience and to attract more users to their website. I’m curious as to whether they have the organizational, managerial, and technical infrastructure in place to handle this expected growth.
The hitRECord website already has 200.000 users, so they’re not a small organization – this is not a case-study of how to go from a small entrepreneurial company and onto the next level. This is a case-study of how to transform a thriving business into a noticeable player in the ‘major league’ of Hollywood movie production.
I could go on but I’m finishing up a section of my theoretical foundation.
I will talk to you later.
