Skam gets a prestige prize: This is why she stopped after four seasons

- I’m still waiting for it to hit me how big Skam has become, says Julie Andem, who receives “Peer Gynt-prisen” today.

In April it became known that the already award-winning NRK series Skam, with director Julie Andem in the lead, recieves “Peer Gynt-prisen”.

- It’s very, very fun, Julie Andem says to Dagbladet.

- When we read the list of former winners, we saw that there’s very big names on it, and neither of us understand that we’re on that list. We look at ourselves as a rather small editorial, and I still don’t think we have understood it. I’m still waiting for it to hit me how big Skam has become, Andem says.

Overwhelming attention

Peer Gynt-prisen has been awarded since 1971. Among former winners of the prize are Einar Gerhardsen, Marit Bjørgen and Jens Stoltenberg, Crown Princess Sonja and Thorbjørn Egner, to name a few. Last year it was Deeyah Khan who won.

- Why’s there only 4 seasons?

- There are many reasons for that. But there were a lot of people involved with Skam, and a lot of them are very young.
It’s an overwhelming attention that the project has received from all over the world and it’s good for everyone involved to return to a quieter life. I am pretty sure that Skam ended at the right time, says Andem.

She doesn’t know what her next project is. Until October 1st she’s on vacation. Skam was originally made on behalf of NRK, who wanted to make something for 16-year-olds.

Changed her career

- Skam was created in the extension of the research we did with young people. We tried to find out what the youth could need, what we could give them, says Andem.

- How has Skam changed your life?

- It has changed my career when it comes to job offers, says Andem, who doesn’t want to reveal who’s made an offer.

- And in your private life?

- Various friends and family haven’t seen me so much over the past two years, says the director, who doesn’t like talking about her private life.

- Are you afraid that you will be connected with Skam forever, become “Skam-Julie” after this?

- No, I’m not in front of the camera. If I stopped working now I’d probably be (Skam-Julie). But I hope I will make other things. But if I had remained the woman who made Skam I would be happy with that, says Julie Andem.

She reveals her favorite scene:

- I have many, but there’s a scene I love and I think I’m never getting tired of. It’s season two, episode three, where Willliam gets out of the car in the schoolyard, when the Yakuza guys has been in a fight with them, and William passes Noora. That scene is very cool, says Andem.

She says that her inspiration behind the scene was that she saw a group of boys on a Sunday morning in Majorstua.

- Two of them had bruises and they were so proud. I thought this is fun because it’s so true. That’s what that scene is, that they feel like they are the coolest in the world because they get out of the car with bruises, says Andem.

On friday at 16:30, it’s time for the official award ceremony at Gålå, where Skam actor Ina Svenningdal will be a compere. Prime Minister Erna Solberg will award the prize, a bronze statue of Peer Gynt.

It’s Marianne Furevold, Håkon Moslet and Julie Andem who receive the award on behalf of Skam.

Exclusive group

- It’s a very exclusive group of people, all of which have been great role models. said Olemic Thommessen, chairman of the nomination committee, in a press release.

In the press release from Peer Gynt, Skam is described as a series of strong, complex and deep characters that have rarely or never been shown on Norwegian television. They also write that the series is well-written and seems incredibly realistic.

This years Peer Gynt will go to an institution that has made a positive mark on the socially beneficial plan, and has made Norway known abroad.

The success of the youth series has ensured this, both by having brilliant criticis and reaching out to a wide audience, at home and abroad.

Proud and happy

Skam has been particularly praised for adressing important issues such as assault, rape, homosexuality, cultural differences and pressures in youth environments in an enlightening and innovative manner, and has been sold to countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Iceland and the United States.

- Skam has been a crazy ride. So, it might be logical that Julie now gets Peer Gynt-prisen, said Håkon Moslet, editor of chief for Skam, when it became known that the NRK series won.

He says the crew behind the series is both proud and happy about the recognition they now receive from the parliamentary representatives.

The online based drama series is about the life of a group of teenagers at Hartvig Nissen High School in Oslo. Fourth and last season were sent this spring.

(Skam has previously won the Nordic Language Prize for 2016, the award for best tv-series and the year’s innovation during Gullruten 2016. They also won the award “Digital Online Award” of the C21 industry magazine in the UK.)

- Absolutely amazing to have been a part of Skam

Two of the actors from the popular series Skam were present at Gålå, when the series creator Julie Andem received the award for this year’s “Peer Gynt” on behalf of the series.

Ina Svenningdal and Adam Ezzari performed during the ceremony at Gålå, before Prime Minister Erna Solberg handed over the prize.

- It’s very nice to participate, and it’s fun that it’s meant something that we’ve made Skam, says Svenningdal to NRK.

She was a compere during the ceremony, and she also sang for the audience. The audience included eleven of the former winners of the prize.

Actor Adam Ezzari says it’s affected him that Skam has meant so much to so many people.

- I get a lot of messages from people who tell me how much Skam means to them. Just being part of it has been amazing, he says.

Keeping in touch

Svenningdal says she never imagined how big Skam would be and that it’s still a little unreal.

- I don’t think anyone imagined it would be as big as it has become. It’s hard to get used to, I don’t think I’ve gotten used to it yet, she explains.

Ezzari came into the series a little later, when Skam had already become known both nationally and internationally.

- I followed the series and thought it was really cool! I recognized all the actors and knew very well who Ina was.
It’s really fun to have seen how it got so big and suddenly get to be a part of it yourself, he says.

“Andem confirms she’s completely done with Skam now.
- I absolutely don’t know anything about what’s happening with “Shame” and the United States. Everybody asks about it, but it’s completely true, I don’t know anything about it, she says”

“The Skam success has been huge - and although she often likes to use words like “very fun and amazingly funny” it’s also been tough.
- Clearly there has been a lot of pressure. A lot. I especially felt it before season 3.. Then everyone had big expectations, says Andem.”

“She is very clear with the fact that the foundation for the Skam success lies mainly with the youth itself. She has done in depth interviews, many of them up to three hours long. She has been looking for youth environments, getting the youth to talk about themselves”

“- Eventually I’ve also come close to the actors, who to a great extent has contributed to forming the series, says Julie Andem”

“She has always chosen to stay in the background and is very clear that she simply does not want attention around her own person.
- If it’d been only up to me, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking now either.
I’m very fond of staying in the background, but many people have had trouble understanding that I don’t want to be in focus, be in front of the camera, continues Julie Andem”

Series creator Julie Andem and producer Marianne Furevold-Boland received the “Peer Gynt prize”.

“Andem says it’s both sad and nice that Skam is over. When the process of the series started just over two years ago, she had never thought it would be so big.
- I was very nervous at first if we were to reach Norwegian 16-year-olds. But beyond that, I had no idea about the extent or the amount of viewers we have today, or have had. I don’t think anyone could have imagined it.”

“The plan now is to make an american version of Skam. Andem says she doesn’t know much about the process, but she has faith in those who are behind it.
- We have talked to those who are going to make it, and I think they seem like a smart and clever gang. I have great confidence that they have understood the concept, and the reason as to why Skam has become a success.”

“The series creator says she keeps in contact with all the actors who have been in the series.
- When you work so closely with someone for over two years, you really start loving them. I hope I will stay in touch with them for the rest of my life.”

“Is it going to be a little sad that the Skam family is done?
- Yes, it will be! I’m absolutely sure that it’s the actors I’m going to miss the most.”
