The Florida Project

Still probably my top choice out of all of Sean Baker’s work, and I can’t deny this was what brought me in. A beautiful, quirky atmosphere with a gritty and raw story that very much resonates well with me and crushes my soul, Sean really knows how to do it. Growing up in poverty raised by an unemployed single parent contained some traumatic experiences for me, but that childlike wonder I had at a very young age had me make do with the best I could in a shitty situation. In a way this felt like a bit of a spotlight onto apart of my upbringing, feeling like I am taken back to myself at age 6 upon my every viewing of this.
