Ahead of Mad Men's final episodes on AMC this spring, the series has launched The Fan Cut, a contest that lets would-be auteurs remake scenes from the show's pilot episode in (almost) any way they see fit.

That first episode has been cut up into some 154 clips ranging from 8 to about 40 seconds long. Up to five fans can "claim" each scene, and they have 30 days to create and upload their own versions.
