“With more than 40,000 participants working together to create short films, music, art or stories, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s hitRECord offers a creative opportunity for fresh talent to team together and expose their art.” - Time magazine

“Tiny Stories is a victory for the enduring power and allure of physical, bound books. Although produced collaboratively and online, the epitome of futurism in book publishing, the slim volume is exceedingly handsome and altogether nostalgic in its design, meant to evoke memories in the reader of a time when all we had were bound books, and the best-made of them were a pleasure both to handle and to see on one’s shelf.” - The Millions
