Here's the Trailer For Tangerine Director Sean Baker's New Film, The Florida Project
A24, the distributor behind Moonlight, has acquired the new movie about life in an Orlando motel.
Following his 2015 critically-acclaimed film about two trans women, Tangerine, writer-director Sean Baker is at work on a new movie, title The Florida Project. The film is to be distributed by A24, the company that backed Moonlight and 20th Century Women.
The Florida Project tells the story of a six-year-old girl named Moonee and her troubled mother Halley, both of whom live in an extended-stay motel in Orlando, Florida. The place is run by two-time Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe, who's likely to be a strong awards season contender for the role.
A24 has acquired quite a diverse slew of new work: in addition to The Florida Project, they've picked up the comedy Lady Bird, written and directed by Greta Gerwig, as well as the Kirsten Dunst-led thriller Woodshock, Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone's new mystery, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and James Franco's The Disaster Artist.
