The Synopsis
SAND FOR NOW crisscrosses the globe documenting a group of nomadic artists, whose passion for sand sculpting drives them during the long hours battling with the elements. As the film unfolds it depicts the struggles and rewards of creating monumental yet transitory works of art. It is often said that life imitates art, once the sands have shifted and the art is gone so are the artists onto their next challenge.
