Master of the Universe, Directed by Marc Bauder

"The practicalities, worries and woes of working in the financial markets is under examination in Marc Bauder's beautifully shot and elegantly absorbing documentary." —ScreenDaily

The 2008 Financial Crisis happened six years ago. Still, our global economy has not fully recovered. In this secret event reserved exclusively for CMU students and faculty, come uncover the grim mysteries behind life as an investment banker. A seven-figure salary is not all glitz and glamour: from sleepless nights to ethical predicaments and lawsuits, one master of finance reminisces upon a career of self-indulgence. Alluring shots of urban architecture, modern technology and skyscrapers transform one financial center into a micro-universe of incessant number crunching. This "secret" film is disquieting, very relevant, and very real—a must-see for anybody intrigued by the intricate world of finance.
