Murphy<\/strong> (<strong>University of Texas Press<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe 21st Century Film Essentials series from University of Texas Press is fast becoming, well, essential. The latest release, J.J. Murphy\u2019s extensive exploration of \u201c<em>The Florida Project<\/em>,\u201d is a marvelous guide to the making and understanding of an important film. Sean Baker\u2019s \u201c<em>Florida\u201d<\/em> is a strong choice for such a take. Murphy recounts how the film started with an idea from co-screenwriter Chris Bergoch, where the title came from (Bergoch, in an email to Baker: \u201cWhen Walt Disney was keeping his plans for [Walt Disney World] under wraps, way before it opened in 1971, its code name was \u2018The Florida Project\u2019 \u2026 so that\u2019s what I will refer to this project as from now on\u201d), and how the film\u2019s extraordinary cast of mostly unknowns was discovered. Rarely has a recent independent success been so meticulously and entertainingly explored.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thefilmstage.com\/the-film-stages-2021-holiday-gift-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/thefilmstage.com\/the-film-stages-2021-holiday-gift-guide\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Baker&#8217;s latest film Red Rocket opens in LA and NYC this weekend, so you might imagine how busy he is at the moment.
