Seen the Float Nation documentary yet?



Funded with a very successful Kickstarter campaign, filmmakers Jory Piglowski and Carl Jessee created a documentary feature that delves into the world of floatation (Flotation Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique).

The full film can be watched for free in HD 


The film is the end result of a month-long road trip across the United States and parts of Canada. 

Float Nation explores the common use of ‘floating’ and its many uses and health benefits. Puzzled by the vast amount of flotation research and recreational use, and a general lack of awareness amongst the public at large, the film-makers set out to talk to researchers, float tank innovators, tank users, doctors, and float centre owners to figure out what floating really is and why it was relatively obscure to the mainstream.  

Experts and talking-heads share and exchange views on the benefits sensory deprivation can bring to all of us.

The i-sopod features heavily in this documentary at various junctures confirming its place in the US and world market as one of the very best float tanks. You can see this pod and its functions alongside some contrasting antique models being used by the pioneers of floatation.
