LA Premiere of "THE FLOATERS" a Summer Camp Comedy + Cast Q&A!

ABOUT THE FILM: An irreverent, heartfelt comedy about friendship, creativity, and the chaos of summer camp. When struggling musician Nomi (Jackie Tohn) is freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara (Sarah Podemski) at their childhood Jewish summer camp, Camp Daveed. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the Floaters.

With the camp’s survival on the line in a high-stakes Maccabiah Games challenge against wealthy rival Camp Barak, led by Mara and Nomi’s nemesis Daniel (Seth Green)– Nomi is tasked with directing the campers’ theatrical performance and encourages the misfit troupe to create an original production—sparking chaos, hilarity, and moments of unexpected brilliance. Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive. Nomi and her campers discover that summer camp can be more than a way to pass the season. It can be a place of creativity, growth, and lasting connection. The Floaters is a laugh-out-loud, multi-generational comedy that celebrates the joy, absurdity, and heart of summer camp life.
