The Florida Project (2017)

Sean Baker continues to be one of the most important independent filmmakers in contemporary American cinema.

Cinematography by: Alexis Zabe

Even as Sean Baker’s profile continues to grow, his films remain deeply compassionate humanist stories about those relegated to the margins of society. Endearing, heartbreaking, and comedic, The Florida Project sensitively examines the false promise of Disney World as an escape from reality, and through the perspective of a group of mischievous children, takes a look at the many impoverished families living in budget motels right outside the confines of the iconic theme park.
