The Floaters

Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi (Jackie Tohn) takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara (Sarah Podemski) at their childhood summer camp, and is tasked with supervising a group of outsider teens called the Floaters. When their rival camp—led by Mara and Nomi’s nemesis Daniel (Seth Green)—issues a high-stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi pushes the limits and loses Mara’s trust. Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive. Framed through multigenerational perspectives—including memorable cameos from ‘80s icons Steve Guttenberg and Jonathan Silverman—this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

"A sweet, offbeat comedy that celebrates misfits finding their people and the magic of a summer that changes everything."
Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots
"For those who are 'Jewish Jewish' enough to know why a spoon that touched the wrong food has to be buried and how to read Hebrew even in its script version, [The Floaters will be] an exceptionally authentic movie portrayal of the way Jewish traditions and culture reflect and shape the Jewish worldview."
Nell Minow, RogerEbert.com
