Twitter Recruiting Video Salutes Wes Anderson's 'Rushmore'

Twitter's Rushmore Treatment
Twitter's new recruiting video may not make you feel like working, but, if you're in your 20s, are sort of nerdy and remember the time you snuck into the indie-cinema to see 'Rushmore,' you will feel a nostalgic twinge.

In the video (after the break), Twitter headquarters are transformed into something of a yearbook, with various teams of employees posing for the film as you would a picture. If you've seen any of Wes Anderson's 'Rushmore,' you'll immediately recognize the recruiting video as a modern day recreation of one of the movie's most famous scenes. In place of Max Fischer's Fencing Team and Yankee Racers groups, Twitter employees form teams, such as Infrastructure, Storage, Gardening and Tweet Fleet, and it's all shot in Wes Anderson's Futura-stamped style.
