Production edit

The original idea for Hundreds of Beavers came to filmmakers Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews in 2018.[2] At the time, Tews was filming his directorial debut Lake Michigan Monster (2018), which Cheslik had co-written, produced, and edited.[3][4] During the filming of a special effects sequence in the film, which was intentionally made "silent", the two discussed the potential of making an entire film based upon the aesthetic.[2]
