Montreal, QC- MacLeod 9 Productions is happy to announce the release of award winning Canadian film director G. Scott MacLeod’s travel journal, 29 Days on the Reykjanes Peninsula – Iceland, one of the worlds last natural wonders. MacLeod chronicled his day-to-day sagas on the Reykjanes Peninsula in drawings, paintings and photos during his 2017 https://www.sim-residency.info art residency in Reykjavik. His friend and driver Einar Hedinsson showed him sites with his in-depth commentary on geothermal Iceland, cultural curiosities and traditions from the old and new Iceland including, boiling geothermal steam and power plants, rows of buses and tourists with selfie sticks waiting for their geyser and waterfall moments, black beaches, remote coastal cliffs with many varieties of birds. MacLeod also experienced the Reykjavik nightlife, postmodern art openings, numerous museums, the best arctic char and salmon imaginable and so much more that he recounted in his personal saga, delivered by the hand of an artist.

The graphic novel, Expedition Greenland - Solveig’s Strength and Auðr’s Prosperity is inspired by Erik the Red’s and the Greenlanders Sagas, the Norse expansion west across the north Atlantic and the retelling of key events in these sagas. The film tells the fictional story of two women who participated in the discovery of these new lands while emigrating to Greenland and establishing the first settlements there.
