8-year-old Florida Project star Brooklynn Prince is directing her own movie now, so how's your career going?
The Florida Project was one of our favorite movies of 2017, a thoroughly warm portrait of life on the poorest edges of society, imbued with especial honesty by a whole host of genuine performances, from Willem Dafoe—playing one of his finest parts in recent memory—all the way down to the child actors whose actions make up so much of the film’s running time. Now, said child starBrooklynn Prince (who’s earned more awards at the age of 8 than most of us will by the time the shallow dirt of the grave ruefully devours our decrepit bones) has revealed that she’s caught the movie-making bug, too, announcing on Instagram that she’s directing her first film, Colours.
