He has made a number of music videos and saw them as a springboard to full-length films. His first feature film, Veggfóður: Erótísk ástarsaga (Eng. Wallpaper: An Erotic Love Story) dealt with music, words, and the lives of young people in Reykjavík in the 1990s.

Kemp's last film, Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre, is a horror comedy, and was released in cinemas in Iceland in September 2009. The film followed a group of whale watchers, who are picked up by a whaling boat. The film is described as a mix of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Blair Witch Project, mixed with the darkness and gruesome humor of The Evil Dead.
