Hundreds of Beavers: A Northwoods Christmas!

Possibly thousands

HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS is a one of a kind indie gem! A charming mix of live action and computer animation (think Buster Keaton meets Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner), this wildly unusual slapstick epic follows a frostbitten battle between Jean Kayak and diabolical beavers – hundreds of them – who stand between him and survival. Since its initial release in 2023, HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS played in over 50 festivals worldwide and has since emerged as a bona fide arthouse cult hit. A weirdly hilarious supernatural winter epic set in the 19th century about a drunken applejack salesman who must go from zero to hero to become North America’s greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers…? Yes, please!

“An unexpected visionary work that will rip you a new perspective on classic cinematic art… Exciting in ways you can not imagine, and must be see to be believed.” (Film Threat)

“This is dam good stuff.” (Film School Rejects)

“If you have even the slightest love for slapstick comedy and goofball antics, then this will undoubtedly be the most gut-busting time you have at the movies this year. … ‘Hundreds of Beavers’ is very good. See it with friends.” (ScreenAnarchy)
