The Most Iconic Scene in 'The Florida Project' Happened Totally by Accident

Many things factor into being a good filmmaker, and luck is certainly among them. Not that it should be at the foundation of any project, of course, but, sometimes, you have to be smart and take advantage of those rare moments when the universe smiles at you. That's what's behind the most iconic shot in The Florida Project, actually: Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) and her best friend Jancey (Valeria Cotto) staring at a rainbow beyond the Magic Castle motel. Whenever we think about Sean Baker's 2017 classic, that's one of the first images that comes to mind, and capturing it was all about making the most of an opportunity when it presents itself.
