Buffet Infinity

Westridge County in Alberta, Canada is on the verge of implosion. Brands have become warring factions, a steady stream of townspeople are going missing, cult leaders have risen from the ashes, giant expanding sinkholes threaten to swallow the town and a mysterious, possibly sentient restaurant is threatening to take it all over.

Told entirely through increasingly unhinged TV advertisements, public service announcements and news broadcasts that are mined from hundreds of hours of footage, we’re given front row seats to a small town's descent into chaos and anarchy, weaving multiple narrative threads and slowly revealing fragments while keeping the whole puzzle in the shadows. In his debut feature, Simon Glassman hypnotically blends horror and absurdist comedy making a film that is simultaneously terrifying and hilarious. The atmosphere is steeped in hazy vaporwave aesthetics and echoes the golden age of live action Adult Swim and analog-era TV surrealism. Akin to taking a time machine to an alternate 1987 where we watch the apocalypse happen on TV in real time, Buffet Infinity is a creative behemoth that must be seen to be believed.
