IN PRODUCTION – 52×5′
The Huggingtons
Imagine a close-knit family with Viking and Troll ancestry and you might immediately think they sound fearsome – but meet THE HUGGINGTONS and you’ll be delightfully surprised! They’ll show you that they’re the most loving, fun family you could wish to know and their comical adventures in the Scandinavian wilds are truly awesome!
5-year old Liv enjoys the freedom to explore the fantastic surroundings around her cosy idyllic home which she shares with her loving family and her faithful pet. Our irrepressible, little horned heroine is a fun force of nature trying to learn how to handle her BIG emotions which can be tricky, changing like the weather.
Each highly original episode of THE HUGGINGTONS presents everyday preschool relatable situations as ongoing emotional challenges for Liv and opportunities for her to learn and grow. She’ll be dealing with sore losing, competitiveness, separation anxiety, sibling tensions, guilt, FOMO, anticlimax, frustration, awkwardness, impatience and over-excitement – PHEW! That’s A LOT! But all those emotions are treated with a lot of love that shines from this tender, uniquely-blended, hilarious Norwegian family:
THE HUGGINGTONS – the other Northern Lights!
Each episode is 5 minutes long and has a clear and familiar line of dramaturgy that fits well with smaller childrens attention span. The show aims for an international audience, and will be produced for and is commissioned by the broadcasters NRK in Norway, C5/Milkshake in UK, RTÉ in Ireland, and with co-producers Kavaleer in Ireland and Epic Storyworlds in Canada, further financially supported by Norwegian Film Instititute, Filminvest regional Film Fund and Midtnorsk Filmsenter.
