Career
Career
The Florida Project was Vinaite's acting debut, where she played the lead role of Halley, a former stripper and single mother living at a budget motel close to Walt Disney World. The movie's director Sean Baker contacted Vinaite after seeing her in an Instagram post, where she documented her life so she could stay in contact with friends in New York City while living in Miami. Vinaite had three weeks of acting classes from acting teacher and associate producer Samantha Quan before filming began. Production wrapped in September 2016. She made a cameo in Drake's music video for "Nice for What", released in April 2018. She also had a recurring role on the second season of The OA. Vinaite will next appear in Violent Delights directed by Taylor DeVoe.
