Muscle Beach
A bodybuilder in search of his missing best friend ends up on a paranoid journey of supplements, conspiracies, and naked greed.
Dir. Jacob Hurwitz-Goodman / 2026 / 92 min.
After soaring high and flaming out in Hollywood, Abe, a celebrated bodybuilder, returns home to Venice Beach. But Jay—his old lifting partner and former roommate—has disappeared, leaving Alice, his tough-as-nails ex, alone to take care of their infant son. Throughout an increasingly desperate afternoon, Abe searches for his old friend, navigating an odyssey of local characters, and unearthing a subterranean war for the soul of this strip of waterfront. Lyrical, kinetic, and paranoid, Muscle Beach is The Third Man meets Tangerine.
