Actress Robin Wright (“Wonder Woman 1984,” “House of Cards”) is putting on her director’s cap for the first time with the feature film “Land.” She also stars as Edee, a woman who flees to a cabin deep in the mountains to escape overwhelming grief and life.
Wright says she got the opportunity to direct “Land” when it felt like mass shootings were happening bi-weekly. She woke up every morning and thought: How do people cope through life-changing experiences?

As a girl growing up in San Diego County, Robin Wright spent a lot of time in nature. Summers meant road trips in the family Volkswagen Vanagon “to see America and explore the wilderness,” she recalls.
“We were always camping, and that comfort I feel in nature, knowing how important and healing it can be, was a huge draw to this film,” Wright said in a recent interview about her new movie “Land,” in which she stars and also makes her feature film directorial debut.
