Desiring to work outdoors and be close to nature, Joseph Fulton, a well-regarded fifty-eight-year-old director of romantic comedies, wants to become assistant groundskeeper at a local cemetery in his Manhattan neighborhood. Meanwhile, he thinks it’s important to have his Last Will and Testament drawn up. But his highly dramatic actress girlfriend imagines he is dying and that he is just too brave to tell anyone. The rumor spreads and soon friends, family and neighbors crowd into his apartment to say their last farewells.
Where to Land features long-time Hartley collaborators like Edie Falco, Bill Sage, Robert John Burke and Gia Crovatin. But newer collaborators include Joe Perrino and Obie Award winner Kathleen Chalfant, while introducing Kim Taff and Katelyn Sparks.
