The Exquisite Corpse Project

The Exquisite Corpse Project (2012)

A new comedy/drama/documentary/thriller/action movie/buddy picture/heist flick

In this first-of-its-kind crossover comedy, director Ben Popik brings together five comedy writers, and surprises them with a challenge: to each write fifteen pages of a movie, having read only the previous five pages of the script. They agree with one stipulation: If they write the movie, he has to make it. It's a comedy, a love story, a psycho-sexual thriller, and a supernatural adventure all in one. Meanwhile, documentary footage of the writing process provides an inside look into the often-hilarious creative process, as well as the group dynamics that make collaboration between friends difficult.

The final film is a combination of the movie written by the writers, and a documentary about the argument-provoking writing process.
