Film “Waterless” by Marc Daniels Set for Preview at Nyack Village Theatre

Marc Daniels, a former longtime resident of Rockland County, born in Suffern  and now living in Highland Falls, is the writer/director of “Waterless,” a film about a young man afflicted with a disease so rare there is no record of it in world history: He is allergic to water. A special research division of the U.S. Government gets wind of this and takes the young man, Gary Gerber, under its wing trying to find a cure. Some years go by and Gary begins to wonder whether the governments intentions are to help him or themselves.

This independent film has an impressive cast with Drew Bohlander making his film debut as Gary Gerber, the young man with the disease.
