A woman, a man, a plan... Iceland. It's not a palindrome, but it is how Land Ho! came to pass.  Co-director Martha Stephens had a vacation to Iceland planned, inspiring the idea of making a movie there around her cousin Earl Lyn Nelson. She asked co-director Aaron Katz to work with her on it.  And her vacation became a location scout.  The rest is movie history.  The duo talked to David Poland about the adventure.

Shot in Los Angeles, June 2014
