From Indiewire

Awards season meteorologists (should we say astrologists?) are abuzz with predictions of possible gold in Jared Leto’s future for “Dallas Buyers’ Club:” the Matthew McConaughey star vehicle also features Leto’s much-lauded performance of Rayon, a transgendered AIDS patient. It’s Leto’s first film role in four years (his last was the 2009 sci-fi drama “Mr. Nobody”), and in the meantime, Leto has spent nearly every waking hour of his life with Thirty Seconds to Mars, the rock band he leads along with his brother Shannon and Tomo Miličević, recording music and touring the world.

Leto’s directorial debut, the documentary “Artifact,” hits iTunes today—originally planned as a making-of chronicle of the band’s third album, “This Is War,” it transformed into a music industry war documentary about Leto and Thirty Seconds to Mars’s marathon contractual fight with their record label, EMI. Indiewire caught up with Leto on the road in the United Kingdom as he traveled between shows in London and Manchester.

When I was making the film, I thought about gathering and collecting all of the elements of this period of our lives, capturing everything that was necessary to tell the story as an artifact of our lives.
