Telling harsh truths about the modern music business, Artifact gives intimate access to singer/actor Jared Leto and his band Thirty Seconds to Mars as they battle their label in a brutal lawsuit and record their album This Is War. The film is a true artifact of our times, as its subjects struggle with big questions over art, money and integrity.

The video, which runs for 13 minutes and 10 seconds and was directed by Jared Leto under the pseudonym Bartholomew Cubbins, premiered on MTV on November 29, 2010. The experimental short film is 12 minutes long and contains excerpts from the tracks "Escape" and "Night of the Hunter." It takes place in what is believed to be a dream, and explores a violent and sexual world where 30 Seconds to Mars are stalked and attacked by various figures known as "The Gimps", while a lesbian couple known as Shae and Sunisa engage in sexual bondage activities with Jared while he is confronted by hallucinations. Jared spends the entire video half-naked being chased by a sledgehammer-wielding killer obsessed with trying to kill him. Shannon battles with a woman who shares romantic feeling for him ending with a kiss. Tomo, who liberates a woman from her abuser, receives a key as a gift. He composes the orchestral score of the song with three identical copies of himself.

杰拉德·莱托（Jared Leto）也要加入“演而优则导”的大军了，他将为派拉蒙执导惊悚电影《77》，这也是他导演的首部剧情长片。
《77》由《洛城机密》（L.A. Confidential）原著作者詹姆斯·埃尔罗伊（James Ellroy）编剧，故事设定在1974年的洛杉矶，主角是一对警察搭档，他们负责调查一桩绑架案，被绑架的是出版业大亨孙女帕蒂·赫斯特（Patty Hearst）。
