Six years later, Mark is one of the youngest billionaires ever, but his unprecedented success leads to both personal and legal complications when he ends up on the receiving end of two lawsuits, one involving his former friend.

Cinematic DNA
David Fincher. Fight Club, for instance, is a masterpiece. But there’s also The Social Network, which taught me so much about dialogue and how to portray emotions through a fast-paced, complex narrative.
