Buffet Infinity
Westbridge is a typical North American town in the 1990s, in which life happens on local TV. A personal injury lawyer is telling you to call him; something happened on Highway 1; and mattress sellers, car dealers, and pawnbrokers are vying for your attention, as is a sandwich joint that’s losing customers to a shamelessly expanding themed restaurant. One oddity turns into two, and the images on TV grow more and more disturbing. When the local cult leader loses more than his shit on camera, we know that sinister forces are afoot. Simon Glassman’s viciously inventive foray into the abyss shows media, society, and advertising as corresponding vessels. The movie’s wit and analog charm will make you want to drop to your knees.

Simon Glassman is a Canadian comedian and caricaturist currently based in Edmonton, Alberta, who leaves his audiences laughing with his absurd observations. He is the creator of the short film and ensuing TV show Felt Up!, which dramatized the real-life audio of real-life people telling their real-life stories—with puppets. Satirizing a small town going horribly out of control, Buffet Infinity, his feature debut, started out as a 30-second YouTube sketch and eventually grew into hundreds of scenes.
