Bringing a slick slice of Tel Aviv into the Canneseries TV festival on the French Riviera this week, the writer-director duo of Shir Reuven (“The Electrifiers”) and Talya Lavie (“Zero Motivation”) …
It began with a script by Reuven who spent her twenties in Tel Aviv. Her directing partner Lavie spent hers in Jerusalem, but could relate to the experience when she read the script. Soon a creative team was born for the series. The first season will debut later this month on cable channel HOT, which financed the production.
Lavie says: “She took a lot of inspiration from her own world. Her experience was similar to mine with a good roommate. It is so great and so terrible at the same time.”Reuven reached out to Lavie on a prayer when she applied for funding and was asked who she would like to direct. “Sad City Girls” revolves around two Tel Aviv roommates with different lifestyles. Living together is not just about differences but also togetherness in the series.
Our grandmothers did not have the freedom seen in the show but, also, “I think a lot of women are not free yet in their twenties,” Lavie says. “Israel is very diverse. The women in the series are very authentic, secular, young women.”
