The Exquisite Corpse Project

The Exquisite Corpse Project is a 2012 crossover comedydocumentary from director Ben Popik and the comedy group Olde English. In the film, Popik challenges five comedy writers to each write a fifth of a film, with the constraint that each writer can only read the previous five pages of the script before writing their section. The final film is a combination of the movie written by the writers, and a documentary about the argumentprovoking writing process.

The structure of the film is true to that concepteach writer writes a fifth of the movie, but is only allowed to read the previous five pages of the script. Accordingly, while the second writer is allowed to read pages 1115 of the script, the fifth writer is only allowed to read pages 5660 before writing the final section of the film. Additionally, Popik filmed interviews at every stage of the process, beginning with the initial assignment of the challenge, and snippets of those interviews are used to provide comedic commentary on the film. According to the review in Film Threat, Its like having all the special features of a DVD playing at the same time as the movie, only instead of being a distraction it enhances the experience.The film was written by Olde English Comedy members Raphael BobWaksberg, Dave Segal, and Adam Conoveras well as former member Joel Clark and OE collaborator Chioke Nassor. The order of the writers was chosen randomly, and each writer was given a week to write their 15page section. Since the movie is onethird documentary, the writers themselves are major characters in the film. ........
