What do you get when you cross a silent film comedy, a Looney Tunes fever dream, and the fur trade of the 1800s? You get “Hundreds of Beavers”—an outrageously original, award-winning indie film that’s taking the cult cinema world by storm—and it’s coming to Lincoln Theater for two showings only on Friday, Aug. 16 at 2 and 7 p.m.

Written by Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, the same madcap minds behind the 2018 horror/comedy “Lake Michigan Monster,” “Hundreds of Beavers” is a slapstick epic about a frostbitten battle between Jean Kayak, a hapless applejack salesman and who must survive the brutal winter, outwit an army of diabolical woodland creatures, and somehow become North America’s greatest fur trapper—all without uttering a single line of dialogue. Kayak, finds himself stranded in a surreal winter landscape with nothing but his dim wits to guide him. Against a backdrop of ruthless elements and sinister creatures - all played by actors in full-sized mascot costumes – Kayak develops increasingly complex traps in order to win the hand of a mischievous lover. The result? A laugh-out-loud, black-and-white throwback packed with visual gags, physical comedy, and hundreds (yes, literally) of beavers.

Winner of multiple audience awards and hailed as “a future cult classic” by critics, “Hundreds of Beavers” is a movie-going experience unlike anything you've seen before. Whether you're a fan of vintage silent-era comedy, surreal indie films, or just want to watch a man battle beavers in increasingly ridiculous ways, this film delivers the goods.

Don’t miss your chance to experience the weird, wild world of “Hundreds of Beavers” on the big screen—because some movies are just too bonkers for streaming.  Tickets: $10 adult and $7 LT members and youth (18 and under) are available in advance through the  box office at www.Lincolntheater.org or at the door beginning 30 minutes before showtime. Lincoln Theater is located at 2 Theater St. in the heart of downtown Damariscotta. More information is available online or by contacting the theater office at info@LincolnTheater.org or 563-3424.
