Life Buoy (2026)
Directed by Jeff Balsamo
“Life Buoy”
Horror, Drama, Thriller, Comedy · 9m
At low tide, just near the water line on a quiet beach, two boys build a sandcastle together. They take turns tamping the sand, creating tension against the rising tide that gradually dismantles their creation. What began as simple play has drifted into a haunting allegory about power, labor, and the illusion of safety – who are the people that keep these systems afloat?
