" Hundreds of Beavers " is a wordless black-and-white bonanza of slapstick antics.

Mike Cheslik's film, made for just $150,000 , has managed to gnaw its way into a movie culture dominated by big-budget sequels.

It's played in at least one theater a week since opening in January .

Hundreds of Beavers ” went on a roadshow in the Midwest .

The filmmakers rented out theaters and played the movie to mostly sold-out screenings.

“We believe that indie movies that go into the digital nothingness of streaming don’t get into the culture,” says Ravenwood .
