The Floaters - Hartford Jewish Film Festival

Out of a band breakup and onto the dirt of her childhood Jewish summer camp, Nomi (Jackie Tohn) reluctantly takes a last-ditch job from her over-achieving best friend Mara (Sarah Podemski) supervising the misfit teen group nicknamed “The Floaters” at Camp David. As the camp faces financial collapse and a rival camp throws down a high-stakes competition, Nomi must bridge the gap between outsider campers and her own bruised ego. The result is a comedy rich in warmth, nostalgia, and the knitted-together diversity of Jewish summer life.

The Floaters has been shown at almost all of the major Jewish film festivals and is the winner of the NYWIFT Excellence in Narrative Filmmaking Award at the Woodstock Film Festival.
