The latest feature film from a true legend of American independent cinema, Hal Hartley!
WHERE TO LAND is a touching farce about a successful director of romantic comedies in his senior years who, while addressing his Last Will and Testament, applies for a job as assistant groundskeeper in a cemetery because he’d like to work outdoors with his hands. But his family, friends, and neighbors misunderstand and assume he is dying, crowding into his apartment to express their last farewells and to clumsily philosophize about the meaning of life.
Featuring veterans of Hartley's many critically acclaimed films like Bill Sage (HENRY FOOL), Edie Falco (TRUST), Robert John Burke (SIMPLE MEN, THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH), and Gia Crovatin (NED RIFLE), along with newer collaborators including Obie Award winner Kathleen Chalfant and fresh new faces, Kim Taff and Katelyn Sparks.
“…peak Hal Hartley, warm and optimistic, damnedly funny and vital.” Paul F. Verhoeven, ABC Radio
“In an age of brain-lacerating tech and herdlike algorithmic group-think, Hartley stands out in ever-greater contrast as a quietly intransigent auteur force.” Kevin Khara, VICE Magazine
