Captain Fantastic (2016) – A True Off-Grid Family Drama
Director: Matt Ross

🔺Description:
The film Captain Fantastic presents an authentic portrayal of an off-grid lifestyle, and Viggo Mortensen took that authenticity seriously. He made sure to question Matt Ross—who had his own childhood experiences growing up in the Pacific Northwest, living a similar alternative, off-the-grid life—to ensure every detail was as realistic as possible.

In an effort to truly immerse the actors into the world of the film, Matt Ross had the young actors playing the six Cash children sign a contract that prohibited them from bringing electronic devices on set and emphasized keeping processed foods and sugars to a minimum.

The film, which focuses on a family living outside of modern society, was heavily influenced by Ross's own experiences and his reflections on parenting. It's a thought-provoking story that explores self-reliance, family dynamics, and the challenges of living in a world disconnected from modern conveniences.
