Sandsailors

Synopsis

Sandsailors follows Emery and Alison, a pair of sand-racing athletes who share an unbreakable bond. They are forced into a death race in which only one competitor will survive. With little time to think, they each form their own goal: Alison wants to save them both. Emery will ensure Alison’s survival at any cost. Sandsailors is a high-speed film packed with mayhem and action, inspired by science fiction comics and anime. Despite its harsh aesthetics, the story is defined by a soft emotional core. In the face of a bloodthirsty crowd, Emery and Alison’s love for each other motivates them to think beyond the “one survivor” rule. In a world that seems overwhelmingly violent, our connections to one another become our hope. The sailors’ relationship represents that hope, even as the cruel forces that surround the arena threaten to doom them.
