Blending slapstick chaos with incisive satire, a struggling Singaporean stunt school faces mayhem when wannabe superheroes arrive.
In Singapore, a stuntman teams up with his brother and ex-sister-in-law to keep their declining stunt school alive. Just as their dream seems about to fade, a rumour that Marvel Studios is scouting locally brings a surge of wannabe superheroes and misfits to their doorstep, convinced they’ll be whipped into crime-fighting shape.
Filled with misplaced egos, failed flips and a total disregard for the craft of stunt work, Sandbox gleefully pokes fun at fantasies of blockbuster fame while spotlighting the precariousness of small businesses. Leading the mockumentary chaos is Peps Goh, joined by a powerhouse cast including Benjamin Kheng, Estelle Fly, Nathan Hartono, Xuan Ong, Fauzi Azzhar and Oon Shu An.
