Jared Leto may be a household name via his acting career, which recently saw him scoop up a best supporting actor Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club. But his other gig – that of frontman for alt-rock band 30 Seconds to Mars – also keeps him fairly busy, recording albums and touring the world. Artifact, originally intended to be a “making of” doc for the band’s third album, took on a decidedly different tone when the group’s label at that point, EMI, launched a US$30 million lawsuit against the band, alleging breach of contract. The film, directed by Leto, follows the band as it presses on in the making of the album, and also casts an eye towards the rough road of evolution and liberation – both for the band and for the music industry itself.
