WriterDirectorProducer
American film director, producer, and writer. Known for often dark and humorous, genre-bending stories, Corso regularly explores themes such as pointless and sadistic chaos, with characters filling out simple archetypes who often find very little in their pursuit of destiny and/or purpose within settings grounded in political and social satire. Corso’s first short film, Rabbit Bones (2013), won both the Best Director and Best Film at The Denver Film Festival. Monkey (2014), was awarded Best Short Film, Best Up-and-Coming Director, and Best Sound Editing at the Seattle International Film Festival. The Neo-Noir crime film Fish (2017), won a Best Cinematography and Best Film award at the Frostbite International Indie Fest while also gathering nominations for Best Directing and Best Actor. The Salesman (2018), the dark comedy about a traveling salesman, was awarded Best Film in the New York Film Awards, as well as a Best Film nomination in the Colorado Film Awards. Cassidy Blues (2020), gathered half a dozen awards including Best Film and Best Actress at the MCA Awards, and Best Original Score at the Beyond the Curve Film Festival in Paris. Take 2 Film Magazine called it: “A time machine to a cops and robbers story [...] a love letter to a bygone time”. Two adaptations with writer, and former classmate, Gregory Ferbrache: the medieval satirical piece, Picnic Under a Gibbet (2021) and a one-location surreal thriller, The Switcheroo Room (2022). Indie Film Spotlight calls Picnic Under a Gibbet: “Utterly dark, utterly clever. A timely piece of film from the COVID Era.” The Switcheroo Room, based on the short story, “You Little Etcetera, You” by Ferbrache, is now in post-production, with a release attached to February 2022. The film stars DeEtta Jain, Ryan Lucy, Haleigh Burckley, Emma Moody and Aletheia Matthews as the film’s leads. As of 2021, now splitting time between Denver, Colorado and Atlanta, Georgia, and embarking on a new step in his career with his feature film debut: Funeral Singers. Co-written by Ferbrache, the film is a dark road trip comedy centered around brothers Prince and Hank Gravely en-route through an Americana wasteland with their deceased father and a pet goldfish in their 1950’s Cadillac hearse. Drawing influence from the Coen Brothers, Wim Wenders, and pictures such as the Blues Brothers and Easy Rider, the project is being produced by Adam S. Ford, Sterling J. Cook, and Sterling Miller and is currently seeking financial backing.
