IN DEVELOPMENT

Bug City

In a world populated by humanoid insects, teenage fly Emma has spent all her teenage years fighting for climate change. Now she’s had enough! 

All her campaigns have failed and no one is listening to her. She wants to get her lost teenage years back!

Almost 18, she has yet to experience both love and sex, and with a feeling the world is about to end, Emma decides to make this her new mission. Easier said than done, as any candidate has to pass Emma’s hardcore check list: vegan, second hand clothes, fossil free travel (bike preferred!) and the list goes on…

In the search for her perfect match, Emma will try to hook up with many bug boys, always supported by her best friend Johanna – the nervous butterfly larvae filled with climate anxiety, who has a secret crush on Emma.

Technique

The TV-series will be made in a live controlled puppet animated world mixed with 2D-animation and VFX. The show will be made for a teenage audience, and with absurd humour we intend to poke the hornets nest of sex and love, fashion and overconsumption, social justice and living carefree, in this coming of age insect comedy.

In development

The TV-series is currently in script development supported by the Norwegian Film Institute, Filminvest and Midtnorsk Filmsenter.
