Buffet Infinity is a Canadian satirical comedy horror film, directed by Simon Glassman and released in 2025.[1] A satire of consumerism inspired by Second City Television and told entirely through mock television commercials instead of conventional narrative, the film centres on the fictional Westridge County in Alberta where two restaurants are fighting each other for dominance, spawning cults and sinkholes and other apocalyptic consequences.[2]
The cast includes Kevin Singh, Claire Theobald and Donovan Workun. Glassman began working on the film in 2020 as a short YouTube sketch before expanding the concept, shooting and reshooting hundreds of scenes for the film of which not all were actually used.[1]
The film premiered at the 29th Fantasia International Film Festival in July 2025,[3] where Glassman received a special jury mention from Best Canadian Director award jury.[4]
Glassman additionally shot several promotional videos for the festival program, featuring characters from the film to highlight both Buffet Infinity and other films.[1]
