Exquisite Corpse
In 2007, Little Minx collaborated with Jacqueline Bosnjak and Mark Beukes of New York-based IDEALOGUE to create a 21st century version of the early 1900s parlour game Exquisite Corpse. Drawing inspiration from the game's unique structure, Little Minx's founder Rhea Scott worked with IDEALOGUE guardians Jacqueline Bosnjak and Mark Beukes to determine how to approach the content-driven, non-linear narrative structure. The experiment included distributing of the content across multiple platforms, including iPod, iPhone, and Sony PSP.
Rules were established for the film series. Each director had to pick up where the other one left off, carrying over the last line of the script from the preceding film. The director also had to represent "Little Minx" at some point in their short film.
Little Minx and Idealogue hired British designer David Pearson to create a film poster for the "Exquisite Corpse" series.

Famous quotes containing the words exquisite and/or corpse:
“It is at the same time by poetry and through poetry, by and through music, that the soul glimpses the splendors found behind the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings tears to one’s eyes, these tears are not the sign of excessive pleasure, they are rather witness to an irritated melancholy, to a condition of nerves, to a nature exiled to imperfection and which would like to seize immediately, on this very earth, a revealed paradise.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
““That corpse you planted last year in your garden,
“Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
“Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
“O keep the Dog far hence, that’s friend to men,
“Or with his nails he’ll dig it up again!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
