‘Moominvalley’ and ‘L/Over’ Producer Set for ‘Love Is…’ Under Rebranded Gutsy Pictures (EXCLUSIVE)
Gutsy Pictures produces the Canneseries entry ' L/Over' and upcoming animation/live action series based on the 'Love Is..’ brand.
Based on Makaroff’s own experience of abuse, the story was co-created by the producer with U.K.-based Frog Stone (“Bucket”) and author Nina Honkanen whose novel “Pohjakosketus” (“Running Aground”) was a loose inspiration for the fiction material. Written by Stone with Bafta-nominated Kevin Rundle (“Hollyoaks”) and Sophie Swithinbank, the series tells of single mum Roosa (Krista Kosonen, “Beforeigners,” “Blade Runner 2029”) who falls for the charismatic novelist Juha (Jani Volanen, “Bullets”). The show, directed by Aleksi Salmenperä, was produced for Finland’s commercial platform MTV, in co-production with Benelux’s Lumiere Group, with co-financing from TV4 Sweden and Copenhagen-based REinvent which handles global sales.
