Find your kingdom.
Directed and co-written by Sean Baker (Tangerine), THE FLORIDA PROJECT is the story of precocious six year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) and her ragtag group of friends whose summer break is filled with childhood wonder, possibility and a sense of adventure. Living at a motel in the shadow of Disney World, Moonee is seemingly oblivious to the struggles of adults around her, including her mother Halley (Bria Vinaite), and motel manager/father-figure Bobby (played by Willem Dafoe in his Oscar-nominated performance). This critically acclaimed film is a vibrant yet heartbreaking portrait of life on the fringe.

"One of the best films ever made about childhood." Rolling Stone
"Vibrant and brimming with vitality, this is empathic towards its subjects but fiercely critical of the system that victimises them. The performances of Vinaite, Dafoe and Prince will stay with you." Empire
"Dafoe’s sensitive performance anchors the movie’s slippery adult world, and Baker builds a cinematic mood beautifully..." Entertainment Weekly
