In the movie, for which Ross won a directing prize at the
Cannes Film Festival in May, Viggo Mortensen plays a father of
six who takes his family from their isolated forest abode to the
city.
"There's some autobiographical elements. My mother started some
alternative living...communities in northern California and
Oregon and I lived on those as a child. My mother is not Viggo's
character. This is just fiction," Ross told Reuters.
"I think it really was aspirational for me, the kind of father I
want to be...There's a couple of gifts we can give our children.
One is to be present in their lives...and the other is to try
and I think...every parent does this, we try and teach them so
they don't make the same mistakes we do."
