Talitha Bella Sewell

Compose The Senses Official Trailer Isabella, a young autistic girl, has grown up being told how gifted she is at dancing, but the pressure and intensity of her new ballet school has caused her to crumble. Compose the Senses is a slice of life short film made by an almost entirely neurodivergent team, commenting on the way rigid traditions and the education system are able to doom autistic people to failure. Written and Directed by Talitha Bella Sewell Produced by Slipshod and Sugary Productions Starring Sofia Genco-Billington @sofiagbillington with Anastasia Sims-Chin @anastasia.simschin Jasmine Faulkner @_jazzy_faulkner_ Kirsty Campbell-Ritchie @kirsty.campbell Music Composed by Coda Renken Choreography by Kimberly Bishop Production Manager: Victoria Philips @vittortoise Camera Assistant: Sarah Olowe @s_olowe123 Creative Lighting Technician: Chloe Lightle Post-Production Sound Engineer: Claudia Stephenson @claudiastephenson.wav Unit Sound Recordist: Vivi Kosanovitch @vivi.__.mp3 Colourist: Joe-Brown Nganget @clique.cm_23 Ballet Supervisor and Coordinator: Elliea Kiley @ellieakileycreates Production Assistant: Niko Godoy With thanks to @skourtisandreas @lars_k6 Simon Donger and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama

Introducing Slipshod and Sugary, a production company born from the phrase: “Nothing about us, without us” #slipshodandsugary #flimproduction #productioncompany #feminism #femalefilmmakers

As my graduate exhibition comes to an end, and soon my whole degree with it, I am overwhelmed with the feeling of love and gratitude. Thank you to @josettebushellmingo , @kathrinersandys , @sirtonyrobinson , and Dame Judy Dench for your ridiculously kind words of encouragement and support in the ceremony last night. Thank you to my tutors, @skourtisandreas @alexmstone_ and Simon Donger for seeing something small within me, and supporting my journey in growing it. Thank you to all of my collaborators during this time, @felixcsweis @dora_galosi @onelovesyoga @chinoixchinoix @tetrrapak @sofiagbillington - for putting faith and trust into my vision, and allowing me the space to make it happen. And of course, thank you to all my friends family and classmates for being there for me when I’ve needed a cry, a gossip, or a laugh. @miadoona thank you for always knowing just what to say to get me to calm down and get on with it. And isla for the best cuddles EVER. But as much as I have a million people who have supported me these last three years, I have to allow a small part of me to just feel pride for myself and for what I have done. I can only be so humble 😄 I wish the class of 2026 BA: Theatre Practice all the best - onwards and upwards for us all!!

My first film festival selection and it is Cannes! Thank you to the entire cast and crew for all the hard work and support, but most importantly thank you to Via and Dora for trusting me and having me involved! Onwards and Upwards!
