Marta Balaga Vienna-based Terra Mater Studios, a subsidiary of Red Bull, is developing its first fictional series “Salon of Sugar.” The historical drama will focus on Berta Zuckerkandl, born in 1864: a writer, journalist and a hostess of an important literary salon in Vienna, frequented by the likes of Auguste Rodin, Gustav Klimt, director Max Reinhardt or Stefan Zweig. “Composer Gustav Mahler actually met his wife Alma there,” says producer Nina Steiner, teasing other familiar faces bound to appear in the show, from Freud to Georges Clemenceau.
Verena Puhm writes. According to the makers, by creating an environment where revolutionary ideas and discussions flourished, Berta found herself at the very center of cultural and intellectual evolution during a “transformative” era in European history.
“I was drawn to this story because it encapsulates the timeless struggle for freedom and equality amidst a backdrop of societal change. Berta’s journey embodies the resilience and intellect of a remarkable woman navigating a world in flux,” says Puhm, with her producer adding: “We really believe that the issues presented here mirror what is happening now.” “Social inequality, rise of nationalism and antisemitism, democracy under threat: These are the topics we need to tackle right now, again.
Amid growing division in society, it’s important to look back and think about the origins of our world. What would Europe be like if these wars hadn’t destroyed it? Maybe we can sit down and think about it for a minute, hoping it won’t happen again.” Berta, “a secret diplomat,” gained early access to influential politicians through her father, newspaper tycoon Moritz Szeps.

Nick Clement After making a promising directorial debut with 2021’s Western “Old Henry,” filmmaker Potsy Ponciroli is back with the twisted black-comedy thriller “Greedy People,” which harkens back to classic neo-noirs like Sam Raimi’s “A Simple Plan” while sampling the idiosyncrasies of a Coen brothers’ film. The original script, by Mike Vukadinovich (Showtime’s “Kidding”), piles on the narrative swerves, yet never at the expense of logic or motivation, showing off a macabre sense of humor with sharp dialogue. “I read close to 150 scripts in the 10 months after we finished ‘Old Henry,’ and only a few of them made a lasting impression.
