TLDR

More of these creative lo-fi movies, please!

What it's about

When an applejack salesman (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) loses his orchard to a destructive group of beavers, he has to find ways to sustain himself in the winter woods.

The take

Who would’ve thought a wordless, black-and-white, slapstick comedy would still be hugely entertaining in this day and age? Hundreds of Beavers is created in the same spirit as the Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton comedies of yore, but it’s a tribute that manages to feel fresh, exciting, and unpredictable. The premise is simple: a man tries to survive the wilderness in the dead of winter by coming up with new ways to catch game. But the execution is wildly creative and nostalgic. You’ll feel like a kid again watching Saturday cartoons, in the best possible way.

What stands out

The film’s mere existence is a standout. Created with just $150,000, Hundreds of Beavers is proof that you can make something new and entertaining without the Hollywood style and budget.
