Directed by Ben Popik, THE EXQUISITE CORPSE PROJECT did the US Film Festival circuit last summer and now is building up again to a theatrical US release on 24th April. This unique piece of work looks really interesting and hopefully, we might be able to help share it further afield. It’s already award-winning and first-of-its-kind crossover comedy as Ben Popik brings together five comedy writers and offers them a challenge. They have to each write fifteen pages of a movie, having read only the previous five pages of the script. They then all agree to this but with one specific outcome: if they write the movie, he has to actually make it.
This is indie film-making at its most quirky and explorative, and for me the whole nature of the process is interesting. Below we’ve got some great production stills, the new poster and that inquisitive trailer:

The film stars Caleb Bark, Megan Raye Manzi, Julia Frey and Trevor Williams. The five taking on the task of writing is Raphael Bob-Wakberg, Joel Clark, Adam Conover, Chioke Nassor and Dave Segal. The team are currently touring the film in the USA and you can find more updates on them here: http://www.theexquisitecorpseproject.com
