The Social Reckoning gives Facebook’s offices a fortress-like look

The filmmakers chose buildings at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia to stand in for Facebook’s offices.

They did not try to copy the real headquarters exactly.

The design mixes bright, modern spaces with a more closed-in, imposing look around Zuckerberg’s office.

That contrast helps show the tension between the company’s youthful image and the fear described in the film.
