Fresh off of a Best Picture Oscar win with _M__oonlight_, distribution company A24 is hoping to put itself back in the game for the upcoming awards season with a slate of new movies, from Kirsten Dunst project _Woodshock_ to James Franco’s _The Disaster Artist_. The trailer for one of its best hopes, _The Florida Project_ (from Sean Baker, director of acclaimed indie film _Tangerine_), just dropped today, and it’s at once whimsical and harrowing. The film stars Willem DaFoe as the manager of an Orlando motel that houses a group of people who would otherwise be homeless. Over the course of a summer, six-year-old Moonee and her group of friends explore the motel where they are living, as the movie unfolds through the eyes of children, who view their situation as nothing more than a great, fun adventure.   _The Florida Project_ hits theaters on October 6. Next week, Flaunt premieres a collaborative video done with Prada, starring _Project_ actress Bria Vinaite. Come back soon to watch. * * * Written by: Helen Murphy
