Bring The Floaters to Your Local Screen

Don’t see your city on the list yet?

Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick a theater and date — Head to our Official Gathr Page. Select “Theatrical On Demand” and choose a theater near you.

  2. Rally your people — Share your screening link and get others to RSVP. Every theater has its own attendance threshold.

  3. Hit the number, lock it in — Once enough people sign up, the booking is confirmed and tickets get charged automatically.

  4. Don’t hit the number? No charge — Think of it like Kickstarter for movie nights: if the threshold isn’t met, nobody’s charged and the screening doesn’t happen.

Want a sure thing? Select “Buyout Screening” instead of “Theatrical On Demand” to lock in the whole screening yourself — no threshold, no waiting on other people.

Welcome To Camp

Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the floaters.

When their rival camp—led by Mara and Nomi's nemesis Daniel—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, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

Directed by Rachel Israel, this spirited film celebrates authenticity and warmth, painting a vibrant portrait of modern Jewish life.

It’s about bonds forged in shared struggles, identity discovered in unlikely friendships, and strength found by embracing exactly who you are.

The Floaters showcases K180’s commitment to storytelling that resonates, steering clear of clichés to offer something memorable and deeply meaningful.
