Comments Off on VIDEO: Exquisite Corpse TV Pilot Premiere
Tim Burton Meets Wes Anderson The gentlemen of Claymore Productions have decided to premiere their TV pilot online this Wednesday, April 16th. I had the privilege to see this pilot last fall at the NYTVF screening in Chicago and this pilot is something special. It’s a crazy collage of visual mastery. In my opinion, this would be the pilot offspring of Tim Burton and Wes Anderson.
