But in a shrinking movie industry, DIY microbudget filmmaking may increasingly be left to fill some of the void left by risk-averse, corporate-driven Hollywood.

“I hope people can stop shooting things to make them look like commercials and just get back to more of the nitty gritty and letting your imagination flow,” says Tews, who also co-wrote the movie with Cheslik. “I just hope we stop bowing down to Hollywood and thinking they’re the gold standard. Because they just aren’t.”

Hundreds of Beavers is easily my favourite movie this year. I watched it with some friends who had no idea what they were watching, and it has been a universal hit with them. The physical comedy is done really well, and many gags are foundational to setting rules for the viewer to set up even more elaborate and hilarious gags as the movie goes on. Honestly this is such a unique and fun movie, it was a breath of fresh air. I am.hanging out for a theatre showing near me, as I think the only way the movie could be better would be to experience it with a crowd.

I believe it's also streaming free on Tubi.

It’s free on YouTube when I last checked

Thought I was going to watch a mediocre college film project and came away with one of the most entertaining experiences this year
