The Florida Project is a 2017 American coming-of-age drama film directed
by Sean Baker, written by Baker and Chris Bergoch, and starring Bria Vinaite
in her film debut, Brooklynn Prince, and Willem Dafoe, with Valeria Cotto,
Christopher Rivera, and Caleb Landry Jones in supporting roles. It was many of
the cast members' first film appearance. The slice of life plot focuses on the
summertime adventures of a six-year-old girl who lives with her unemployed
single mother in a budget motel in Kissimmee, Florida. Their struggle to make
ends meet and stave off homelessness takes place in a realistic environment
near Walt Disney World, which was code-named "The Florida Project" during its
planning stages.
