The Anthropocene Chronicles

Following the completion of her latest short film Ménage du Trois, writer/director Saranne Bensusan is now working on a new project called 'The Anthropocene Chronicles'. This project

This is a multi-media programme that encompasses several projects. These are:

Creating two novellas written by a collection of writers, including Saranne Bensusan, Fiona Lietch, Carmen Radtke, Emma Pullar, Nick Jackson and Rachael Howard. The first one will be on sale in August and the second one will be on sale in October. There will be eight stories in total, comprising of individual accounts of the lives of people living in a high-tech dystopian future where their actions are strictly controlled and monitored with almost no freedoms.

The next stage is to publish a paperback of all eight stories, and in early 2018 we shot the short film Lavenders Blue, a prequel to make the first short story 'Scheduled' which starred Stine Olsen in the role of Emilie and was directed by Saranne Bensusan. This will hopefully build the audience needed for us then to make a feature film.

Here are the biographies of the writers creating this world:

The next stage is to publish a graphic novel of all eight stories, and then next year to make the first short story ‘Scheduled’ into a short film starring actress Stine Olsen, and directed by Saranne Bensusan. This will hopefully build the audience needed for us then to make a feature film.

Here are the biographies of the writers creating this world:

Fiona Leitch is a screenwriter with a chequered past. She’s written for football and motoring magazines, DJ’ed at illegal raves and appeared in terrible low budget TV commercials. She enjoys scaring her cats by trying out dialogue on them and writing funny, flawed but awesome female characters. Her dramedy ‘Lost in Berlin’ was a finalist in New York’s Athena IRIS Screenwriting Lab 2017 and a semi-finalist in the Finishline Script Contest. She’s also made the finals of two BBC Writersroom initiatives as well as Twisted50.
