Land Ho!

Land Ho! is an American/Icelandic comedy film co-written and co-directed by Martha Stephens and Aaron Katz. In it, two former brothers-in-law reunite and travel to the remote Scandinavian country of Iceland. There, the pair set off on a road trip through the rugged landscape to try and rediscover what it means to feel young. In nightclubs and fancy day spas, the film plays out like a buddy comedy, but at its heart is about friendship and the eternal taste for adventure. The film stars Paul Eenhoorn, Earl Lynn Nelson, Karrie Crouse, and Elizabeth McKee.
Land Ho! blossomed from a simple idea to a fully realized picture in record-breaking time, taking just one calendar year to conceptualize, produce, and edit. Martha Stephens, one of the producers, kicked off the production. “I came up with the idea in January 2013 as I was planning my Iceland trip. By the time I went to Iceland in March it had turned into a location scout.” The first scenes were shot in May and then the bulk of the production in Iceland was done in September and October. From there it was a simple matter of post-production, of which Mynette Louie was in charge. “We were trying to rush a cut to Sundance. We had a 6-week picture edit, 3-week sound edit, 1-week soundmix, and 1-week color-correct. It was record time for all of us!”
Land Ho! is rated 14A.
