Comedy Troupe Olde English Presents Film "The Exquisite Corpse Project" at Ursinus College

Members of the New York City comedy troupe Olde English will
host a screening of their film, The Exquisite Corpse Project, on Sunday, Oct.
6, at 7 p.m. in the Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center’s Lenfest Theater. The
event, which is part of the group’s college tour, is free and open to the
public.

For the 85-minute film, director Ben Popik reunited five
comedy writers---Joel Clark, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Adam Conover, Dave Segal and
Chioke Nassor---of the comedy group he had founded while a student at Bard
College. He presented them with a challenge: to each write 15 pages of a movie,
having only read the previous five pages of the script.

The result is an award-winning mix of comedy and documentary
that features behind-the-scenes footage of the challenging process of creative
collaboration. After the screening, the filmmakers will talk about creating the
film, their careers in sketch comedy, and writing for TV comedies.

The film won the Audience Award in the documentary category
of the Dances With Films festival, and it was also awarded the Best Documentary
and Best Director honors at the Los Angeles New Wave International Film
Festival.

Ursinus College is a highly selective, independent
coeducational liberal arts college located on a scenic, wooded, 170-acre campus
in suburban Philadelphia. The college is one of only 8 percent of U.S. Colleges
to host a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
