# Event Details - **Event Name**: Buffet Infinity (Director in Attendance for Q&A) at the Rio Theatre - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 16 Aug, 2026 at 01:15 pm - **Event Description**: Echoing the Canadian comedy classic “SCTV” and picking from hundreds of hours of original, low-budget TV ads to tell the sinister tale of two restaurants battling it out in the fictional town of Westridge County. Ads for insurance, used car rivals, a local religious scholar, and a recording artist converge to tell the story of an expanding sinkhole, a cult, and an ever-growing restaurant that becomes unsettlingly sentient. ********************************************************************* Director Simon Glassman will be joining us for in-person intro and Q&A. ********************************************************************* “I think this might just be a masterpiece.” (Cinepunx) “A sloppy joe satire force-fed to us in colorful and hilarious thirty second bursts that make the medicine go down, down, down, until we’re all happily gagging on it. That’s the Buffet Infinity guarantee.” (Pajiba) “Walking a tightrope between middle school sleepover chaos and grad school formalism, this is a mordantly dark gift that keeps on giving.” (Nashville Scene) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, August 16 Doors 12:45 pm | Movie 1:15 pm *Start time subject to change. Please arrive on time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BUFFET INFINITY (Simon Glassman, 2026 / 90 mins / NR) In a series of cheap, locally produced television commercials, a story unfolds that begins as a simple business rivalry between small business owners and the looming threat of Buffet Infinity.
