## Resource

Ólafur Darri Ólafsson discusses his new production company ACT4 and their first series, Reykjavik Fusion, which premieres at Canneseries. He wanted the show to feel more vibrant than typical Nordic noir, following a chef rebuilding his life after prison. Ólafsson balances Icelandic work with international projects like Severance and Somebody Somewhere, while keeping his base in Reykjavik. ACT4 is also developing a murder mystery, Death of a Horse, and an animated feature, Stormy Island. He calls joining Severance both "exhilarating and terrifying" and shares how in Somebody Somewhere, he had to tone down his natural charm acting opposite friend Bridget Everett. Ólafsson also reveals behind-the-scenes stories, from Michelin-starred dishes on set to dreams of wearing Björk’s swan dress to the Oscars.
