Sean Baker required a cast of kids to match the formal energy of his direction in The Florida Project, and he found them in the rambunctious trio of Brooklyn Prince, Valeria Cotto, and Christopher Rivera. As the Orlando-set film had its New York Film Festival premiere, we spoke with the adorable kids at Lincoln Center, where they discussed the friendship at the heart of the film, acting, and, of course, ice cream. Don’t miss an NYFF Live free talk with Baker and co-writer and producer Chris Bergoch tonight, October 3, at 7pm at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Amphitheater. A24 will release The Florida Project on Friday, October 6.
