After losing his job as a paralegal, Sam Stein (Matthew Shear, Mistress America, TJFF2024’s Between the Temples) suffers a panic attack and stumbles into a job babysitting his psychiatrist’s three granddaughters. The girls’ mother, Dianne (Amanda Peet), is an actor whose once-promising career has stalled; she is now in a difficult marriage to a rock bassist. When her husband goes abroad on tour, Dianne and Sam discover an easy rapport. Sam joins Dianne’s family to babysit for the summer on Martha’s Vineyard, and he ends up in a house with the woman he pines for, her husband, the three kids, and all four grandparents, including his psychiatrist. A touching comedy that features sensitive and relatable performances by Shear and Peet, as well as a pitch-perfect supporting cast—Judd Hirsch, Bob Balaban, Jessica Harper and Andrea Martin.
Featuring a live Zoom Q&A with the film’s writer/director/star Matthew Shear.

Jackie Tohn (Netflix’s Nobody Wants This) and Toronto’s own Sarah Podemski (Reservation Dogs) star in this offbeat and big-hearted summer camp comedy. Struggling musician 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 wealthy rival camp issues a high stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi and her gang of misfits must overcome their differences and outperform their foes to keep their 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.
