Hundreds of Beavers

The Friends of River Oaks Theatre brings you the Houston premiere of Hundreds of Beavers — the cult comedy hit of the 2023 film festival circuit — for one night only, with two showtimes! Shot over two years for $150k in the Wisconsin wilderness, the film by director Mike Cheslik and star Ryland Brickston Cole Tews is a true original of lo-fi surrealism with influences ranging from Chuck Jones and Tex Avery cartoons to Guy Maddin and Legend of Zelda.
In this 19th century, supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become the greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers. This madcap, delirious, beaver-action must be seen to be believed.
“Astoundingly inventive and ambitious micro budget film that I’m so glad I got to see on the big screen ahead of its streaming release. One of the funniest films I’ve ever seen. The gags just don’t stop, nor does the escalation of the carnage against the varying woodland creatures (and our intrepid trapper).” – Freyr

“Hundreds of Beavers isn’t merely a ‘homage’ to silent cinema and Looney Tunes-style comedy, but an actual example of it, with a new gag every few seconds that left me howling with tears of laughter.” – Justin Decloux
