Welcome to a magical kingdom.

Moonee is six years old and lives with her mother, Halley, at the Magic Castle, a low-budget motel in Kissimmee, Florida, a short distance from Walt Disney World. During summer days, nobody keeps an eye on the girl, who roams the motel and its surroundings with her friends Scooty and Dicky. Through games and mischief, the three explore a world very different from the theme parks nearby. Halley, unemployed and responsible for a daughter, struggles to pay for lodging and avoid ending up homeless. Brooklynn Prince plays Moonee in this movie directed by Sean Baker, alongside Willem Dafoe.

Trivia about The Florida Project

The movie was shot on 35 mm film, except for the final scene, which was filmed without permission at Magic Kingdom in Disney World using an iPhone 6S Plus.

The idea came about when screenwriter Chris Bergoch saw many kids playing in motel parking lots while visiting his mother in Orlando.

Baker's sister, credited as "Stephonik Youth," was the film's production designer.

On a budget of $2 million, the movie earned $11.2 million worldwide.

On its limited opening weekend, playing in four theaters, the per-theater average was $39,208, the highest of that day among all movies.

Sean Baker found Valeria Cotto, who plays Jancy, at a Target store in Kissimmee, while Christopher Rivera landed his role through a local casting call.

Bria Vinaite was discovered by Baker on Instagram and cast as Halley despite having no previous acting experience.

Filming took place in Kissimmee during the summer of 2016, with intense heat, frequent storms and a daily downpour around four in the afternoon.
