Watch This: Splitsider Presents ‘The Exquisite Corpse Project’ | Splitsider
Comedy website Splitsider just launched a new digital distribution label ‘Splitsider Presents’ and their first release is the hilarious feature film ‘The Exquisite Corpse Project.’ Available for $5 over at their website.
Director Ben Popik gathered together his former comrades from the legendary sketch group Olde English and tasked them with writing a movie. The catch: each of the five writers wrote 15 pages and only saw the previous five pages of the script. He then shot the movie they wrote, as well as documentary footage of the writing process and all the drama that it entailed, and put them all together into a unique comedy.
I had an opportunity to see the move last night and it is really something special. Besides being extremely funny and charming, it speaks volumes about the creative process, collaboration and friendship. The way the documentary aspect mirrors the narrative they wrote is fascinating. The film becomes much more than a silly project, but rather evolves into a statement about human nature and relationships. You definitely haven’t seen anything like it.
Anyone who has ever been in a comedy group, or wants to know what it means to be in a comedy group, should watch this movie. It’s the single most moving and accurate depiction of the joy and horror of creative compromise that has ever been made. It’s also a rare dose of sincerity in an oftentimes too snarky comedy world.
Congratulations to comedy brand Splitsider on the cool business move.
John Cleese on creativity. If you have a half hour, this is awesome.

Your summer anthem has arrived ahead of schedule.
Amazing work by Murph, Owen, Paul, Steve, and co. CollegeHumor: making Weird Al’s job harder.
This is somehow the most inspiring video I’ve ever watched. From now on, when I’m feeling lazy, I’m going to think about Asiatic clams.
I’m a filmmaker and an Eagle Scout. This is my message to the Boy Scouts in regards the ban on homosexual members.
I love Todd’s determination and optimism.
Batman vs. The Penguin (with Patton Oswalt)
Guns don’t kill people. Batman does.
For the past couple of years, Oren Brimer, Matt McCarthy, and Pete Holmes - otherwise known as the comedy force Front Page Films - have been co-producing these Batman shorts with us. This may be the last one they do before Pete starts airing after Conan on TBS, and it’s a humdinger, with Patton Oswalt as a Nolan-esque Penguin.
I still can’t believe all the funny FPF has been able to pump out of this simple idea, and I hope we somehow keep working together forever.
