A drunken applejack salesman must fight hundreds of beavers to save his orchards and brewery plus find love in this new cult comedy that has been compared to Looney Toons and silent slapstick cinema in a loving way. Of course, the beavers are really actors in giant mascot costumes – the movie is not trying to hide that but lean into it – along with thousands of effects shots, puppetry, miniatures and props used to amazing comedic effect that must be seen with a live audience to truly go nuts with. Made in Wisconsin over two very cold winters for $150,000 by two high school buddies, it doesn’t get more indie than this.
