Flasback to July 4, 2017, when Jared Leto and his band Thirty Seconds To Mars undertook a massive project to document a typical day in the life for an American, covering nearly every pockt of the country and every extreme — from rich to poor, famous to unknown, celenration from mourning, birth to death, daredevils to Instagram show-offs, and on and on — thanks to 10,000 video submissions.
It's a lot of footage to take-in, not to mention the information that darts across the screen so fast, so you might find yourself occasionally pausing to take it all in, and marking your calendars in the upcoming full-length documentary version, A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AMERICA, filmed in all 50 states, plus D.C. and Puerto Rico.
The YouTube page sums this one up nicely, so here ya go:
Everything you are about to see we filmed on a single day in the United States of America. July 4th, 2017.
Over 10,000 people submitted footage of a single day including 92 of our professional crews. They filmed across the country in all fifty states plus Puerto Rico and D.C. and captured a portrait of this country that is absolutely beautiful, challenging and unforgettable.
This worldwide tour video for Thirty Seconds To Mars is basically a love letter to a fanbase, complete with testimonials, behind-the-scenes clips and some massive crowd shots with frontman Jared Leto in full messianic mode.
One thing about Thirty Second To Mars and director Bartholomew Cubbins — who is to 30STMs singer Jared Leto as Wolf Haley is to Tyler The Creator — is that they know how to go big. And "Up In The Air" is massive in every way — the intro, the interlude, the location and the collaborators, which runs the gamut of several A-list circles.
