It’s not every day you see a celebrated on-screen family come back together off-screen to rally fans around an indie project. But that’s exactly what happened when Brooklynn Prince and Abby Miller teamed up again for the California Scenario Film crew, reviving their mother-daughter chemistry from Apple TV+’s hit series Home Before Dark.
Mother-daughter Reunion Powers New Indie Push
Brooklynn Prince—best known as plucky young Hilde Lisko in The Florida Project and later as the inquisitive Isa in Home Before Dark—shared a recent Instagram post celebrating her reunion with Abby Miller. In the caption she wrote: “It was so meaningful to reunite @thebrooklynnkimberly and @theonlyabbymiller from Apple TV’s #HomeBeforeDark as mother and daughter. She is incredible, and we need your help to finish the movie!” The post called followers to click the Seed&Spark link in @california_scenario_film’s bio, hit “Follow,” and boost eligibility for a $10,000 AAPI Renaissance Rally grant to wrap principal photography and postproduction.
On set, the pair were all smiles as they embraced between takes, leaning into the bond that made their Apple TV+ characters so memorable. The images feature Brooklynn in a casual denim jacket and Miller in layered knits—proof that the pair wear both roles and cool-off-duty style with equal ease.
Brooklynn Prince’s Breakout And New Role
Prince’s career ignited at age six with her breakthrough performance in Sean Baker’s 2017 drama The Florida Project, earning her the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Young Performer. Since then, she’s lent her voice to animation hits like The Lego Movie 2 and secured leading roles in Paramount+’s Little Wing, Lionsgate’s The Marsh King’s Daughter, and Universal’s Cocaine Bear.
Fans might also recall her starring turn opposite Miller in Home Before Dark, where Miller played Bridget Lisko, Hilde’s caring but wary mother. Now Brooklynn has been tapped for another lead: she’ll bring Phoebe to life in California Scenario, a role announced on Instagram in late May. The post describes her as “a breakout star…continuing to captivate audiences with her talent and versatility.”
Abby Miller, a veteran TV actress with credits including Fargo and Legends & Lies, returns to the maternal role she helps define. Industry insiders say the reunion feels like a homecoming—one with fresh stakes beyond the small screen.
How To Join The Crowd
California Scenario Film has launched a Seed&Spark campaign to secure finishing funds.

Producer Dara Resnik and director Jon Takata describe California Scenario as an intimate drama exploring intergenerational bonds in a changing California landscape.

The team hopes to hit their follow-count target by early summer, unlocking the grant to complete editing, sound design, and festival submissions. Alongside the grant push, they’ve shared behind-the-scenes photos of Prince and Miller on location—moments of laughter, rehearsal, and reflective quiet between shots.
