About Hundreds of Beavers:

HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS was filmed over the pandemic in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and surrounding areas (including Michigan) by a small crew on a budget of approximately $150,000. After filming, director Mike Cheslik painstakingly executed over 1500 effects shots on his home computer.

After a virtual premiere at Fantastic Fest in 2022, the movie gained steam on the festival circuit, picking up a slew of awards including an audience award at Fantasia 2023. With no major offers from distributors, the filmmakers decided to self-release the film, starting with the "Great Lakes Roadshow" in early 2024: a 14-day tour of the Midwest which sold out most screens, including a 700+ audience at the Music Box in Chicago. The show hearkened back to early vaudeville, with Mike Cheslik roasting the audience and the movies star / producer / co-writer Ryland Tews body-slamming beavers.

The New York Times picked up the story, and from there Hundreds of Beavers became an unexpected cult hit in cinemas across the country. So far it has played on over 250 screens (we only showed up to 26 of em), and is currently premiering in the UK, Australia, Taiwan, and more.

To get the film on VOD, we partnered with FilmHub, a distribution company that allows filmmakers to keep their rights, for transactional video on demand via Amazon and Apple. We also brokered a partnership with Fandor for subscription streaming.

We are also proud to announce that Hundreds of Beavers will be the FIRST FILM to be screened at the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS in the same year as its theatrical release. Saturday, July 27th.

We will attempt to screen in movie theaters as long as fans want it. Follow along at hundredsofbeavers.com
