"Hundreds of Beavers," a $150,000 micro-budget film about a 19th-century salesman battling beavers in black-and-white slapstick, has become a surprising indie hit. Self-distributed by filmmakers Mike Cheslik and Ryland Tews, it's played weekly in theaters since January and will expand on December 5.
