Director Sean Baker (Tangerine) returns with the new drama The Florida Project which was well loved at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Today, the film’s first trailer and poster have been released.
The film follows precocious 6-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) and her rag-tag group of close friends whose summer break is filled with childhood wonder, possibility and a sense of adventure, while their parents and the adults around them struggle with hard times living in the rougher areas around Orlando’s Disney World.
Dafoe plays the manager of the motel in which Moonee and the crew live. Bria Vinaite, Valeria Cotto, Christopher Rivera and Caleb Landry Jones also stars.
The Florida Project opens on October 6th.
