‘Family Therapy’ Director Sonja Prosenc Preps Follow-Up to Tribeca Premiere, Developing ‘Punk Rock’ Dark Comedy-Horror Series About Two Vampire Queens (EXCLUSIVE)
The untitled drama about 'sisterhood and female liberation' is set in Slovenia and Italy and follows three women whose lives eventually collide.
While Prosenc explained that it “would have been very easy to make this family a capitalist, conservative, rich family…afraid of what the ‘other’ represents,” she chose instead to set the Kraljs in a “more cultural milieu,” noting: “I didn’t just want to point my finger at someone who has different values from me. Mitevska, who conceived of the eight-episode show, told Variety that she’d grown increasingly frustrated with TV series from the Balkan region and wanted “to create something that I would watch, something edgy, funky, liberating and entertaining.” Prosenc added that she was drawn to the concept’s “punk-rock energy” and was quick to come on board. Teona Mitevska and Prosenc have spent the past year developing the show through the French CNC’s Going European fund, a training program designed for authors involved in co-writing international series, and are looking for broadcasters and pre-sales during CineLink Industry Days.
