UNCSA alumni Martha Stephens and Aaron Katz’s buddy comedy Land Ho! follows former brothers-in-law Mitch (Earl Lynn Nelson) and Colin (Paul Eenhoorn) as they travel through Iceland. The pair of 70-year-olds find themselves in need of an adventure to break out of their rut, and soon the extroverted Mitch has talked Colin into the trip. Along the way they have various amorous encounters, and attempt to recapture the spirit of their youth.
“Treasuring small victories and mood above all else, Land Ho! makes it possible to engage with its subjects’ pathos and experience their sense of renewal along with them.” ~ Eric Kohn, IndieWire
