  Three women turn to pagan worship in the hope of gaining a 'sixth sense' to solve personal crises. In the ensuing events
  tragedy becomes inseparable from epiphany, the meaningless becomes meaningful and the senseless becomes 'senseful'.

  Senseful is scheduled for production in the summer of 2008 with Kirsty Malyon directing. Kirsty gained a BA (Honours) in
  Film and Theatre before graduating from ArtsEd London Drama School with an MA in Acting. She has an extensive list of
  theatre direction credits. An accomplished actor with several short film lead roles to her name, Senseful is her first film in
  the director's seat.

  Senseful was cast 'in house' with three terrific actresses already known to the producers given the main roles: Elizabeth
  James as 'Rebecca Toomey', Maeve Ryan as 'Liz McFadden' and Amanda Liberman as 'Ellie Rogers'. Elizabeth holds a
  Postgraduate Diploma in Acting from East 15 and is also a graduate of the TVI Studios and Margie Haber training programs
  in Los Angeles. Her credits include an appearance in Emperor Jones at the Royal National Theatre. Maeve's qualifications
  include an MA in Drama and Theatre Studies from the National University of Ireland and an MA in Acting from ArtsEd.
  Amanda has a BA in Acting from ArtsEd and has appeared in the BBC series Silent Witness and The Bill.

  Location scouting revealed some beautiful locations for Senseful's climactic scenes in the woods:

  Production Designer Lorna Lau successfully obtained product placement from
  we'moon, makers of a best-selling lunar-based appointment book that's entirely in
  keeping with the pagan spirit of Senseful

  Lorna also came up with some great designs for Senseful's more esoteric elements,
  such as the Blue Woman and Green Man characters.

   
During the shoot of Senseful, Mica Films was fortunate to have the services of talented photographer Ben Broomfield. As well as capturing the cast and crew in all their glory, Ben also proved to have an eye for the on-location wildlife! To view all the stills from Senseful, click here.

No animals were harmed in the making of Senseful.
Some of the hardware wasn't as fortunate!

Mica Films are thrilled to have young Buckinghamshire composer Claire Batchelor on board to score the short film Senseful. In addition to her film work, Claire is also an accomplished live artist. She is here seen performing at the Mad About Drama festival at Waddeson Manor.
