"Voyage to Vinland" is the first full-length movie screenplay written by Brad Olsen. It is a historical drama about the Greenland Viking excursions to a place in North America named Vinland by Leif Ericson. Leif led the first voyage in 1000 CE, followed by his younger brother Thorvald a few years later.

In 2000, Brad Olsen had a co-starring role in an independent feature called "Ever Since the World Ended."
