Directed by Rachel Israel, “The Floaters” screened in Silver Spring and Alexandria in late July, following a November premiere at the Edlavitch DC Jewish Community Center’s JxJ – Washington Jewish Film and Music Festivals. Set at a Jewish summer camp, “The Floaters” is a comedy that follows a struggling musician tasked with supervising a group of misfit campers, the “floaters” of the title. “The Floaters” was filmed at Camp Tel Yehudah in Barryville, New York, in the Catskills, the camp where the producers’ parents met. The idea for the film came about from the producers wanting to tell a story where Jewish women were leaders. “We were really inspired by the Jewish women in our lives to help create the characters of Nomi and Mara,” Korman said.
