Movie Premiere: The Exquisite Corpse Project (Mann's Chinese Theatre) June 2, 2012

ABOUT THE FILM

In this first-of-its-kind crossover comedy, director Ben Popik (of famed sketch comedy group Olde English) 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 result is a movie that is groundbreaking in format, emotionally resonant, and consistently laugh-out-loud funny.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Dances With Films, now in its 15th year, champions the unflinching spirit at the very core of the independent film scene. While the vast majority of film fests rely heavily on celebrity, we have relied on the innovation, talent, creativity and sweat equity that revolutionized the entertainment industry. And that reliance continues to prove successful with alumni moving on to write and direct celebrity-studded vehicles, star in blockbuster movies and network series, produce multi-million dollar films and create hit TV shows. Oh.....and we even have several OSCAR nominees... In a world of homogenized, formulaic film festivals, DWF continues to defy the rules.
