This is great. Out of curiousity, why is it private rather than openly viewable? I think this would be great for /r/videos.

Reminds of Charlie Brooker's 'Black Mirror'. I don't know if that was ever shown in the US so I might not have made the connection had the film been made there, but I'd hazard a guess that it was an influence on the Bournemouth uni film-makers.
