These For Your Consideration ads ideally extoll the virtues of the film and remind awards voters, as well as the general audience, to keep it in mind. For example, Bleecker Street is currently promoting its film “Captain Fantastic,” starring Viggo Mortensen as a patriarch of a large family who are forced to reenter society after living for years in the forest of the Pacific Northwest.
