Annika Pham Norwegian leading indie prodco Seefood TV, credited for the Canneseries and Rockie Awards entry “Dumbsday”, is attending the Cannes’ TV festival and content market MipTV, with the quirky romantic comedy “Still Looking” (“Evig Singel”). Prolific star actor Trond Fausa Aursvåg (“Oppenheimer” “Lilyhammer”, “Christmas on Blood Mountain”) toplines the Norwegian ensemble cast, next to Kristine Grændsen (“Dumbsday”, “Basic Bitch”), Kevin Vågenes (“What Happened to Solveig?”), Tuva Billing (“Lunch”), Lene Kongsvik Johansen (“Christmas on Cobble Street”) and Amir Asgharnejad (“Christmas on Blood Mountain”). The six-part 22 minute episode “Still Looking” is penned by Andreas Rand (“Dumbsday”), Oddne Lekang Hølaas and Mike Torsvik Johansen (“Superhero Academy”).
“The series weaves together the stories of six characters between the ages of 25 and 50, who have all been single more or less all their lives. All are looking for love but never quite seem to find the right partner. “We’ve been inspired by “Love on the Spectrum,’” Seefood TV co-founder Aleksander Herresthal told Variety.
“In a way, we’re all on the spectrum, or have a friend or a family member who is. Through the series, we follow each character, as they try to find love, but systematically fail, for being too in love, or too needy, in other words too intense.” The story was developed in full partnership with the six actors such as Grændsen who said she was keen to depict “the comical and painful sides of love life”. Fausa Aurvåg for his part, said he enjoyed playing a silly character, without inhibitions.
