Thanks to everyone who came to our Future Human event at The Book Club on Wednesday, subtitled Total Filmmaking. We had a blast, and explored everything from crowdfunding movies about moon-based Nazis to the mysteries of Matthew McConaughey posters; Mark Price told us about his new road movie that nevertheless features a shark attack; and Liz Rosenthal gave reasons for low-budget, digitally savvy filmmakers to be cheerful.

And just to prove how nimble and creative you can be with no budget and some cheap technology, we also managed to cast, light, direct, act out, film, edit and upload to YouTube our own version of the opening scene to The Social Network. Check it out below:

Thanks to Nell Block for filming and then editing in record time, and to our cast and director that we plucked from the audience! You’re all stars, dahlings.
