Cornerboys is collaborative effort between writer Jamieson Ridenhour, artist Ali LaRock, and composer Kevin Smith. The short film tells the dark fairy tale story of Jennifer Lynn, who searches the night streets for home but finds only the rat-eyed and restless Cornerboys. Inspired in equal parts by Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market, the fairy tales both of the Brothers Grimm and of later practitioners like Tim Burton and Brian Froud, and the gritty urban Gothic fantasies of the 19th century, Cornerboys began life ten years ago as a long poem published in the now-defunct horror ‘zine Whispers from the Shattered Forum. The resurrected version features a dramatic reading illustrated in Ali LaRock’s trademark dark whimsical style, supported by Kevin Smith’s wickedly elfin orchestral score. The final product is ten minutes of devilish color and rhyme.
Jamieson Ridenhour, a scholar of Gothic literature and film, will also discuss Boris Karloff’s connection to North Dakota, and introduce a screening of the classic Universal horror film The Bride of Frankenstein.
