Beaver Tale 3: The Break-Up

The 3rd installment in the award-winning Beaver Tale short film series, "Beaver Tale 3: The Break-Up" takes a darker turn than the first two, chronicling romantic troubles between Pelt The Beaver and Quillette The Porcupine.

The movie has been highly-anticipated, as the first Beaver Tale won Most Original Idea at the Leo Burnett Advertising Short Film Festival and the Audience Choice award at the Small Town Film Festival (STFF) in Chatham, Ontario, while the second installment won Audience Choice at the following years STFF. And both Beaver Tales were featured on CBC TV's show Exposure.

In a new twist for the series, BT3 ends with a "To Be Continued" cliffhanger. "As is increasingly common in Hollywood, we shot Beaver Tale 4 simultaneously," says series creator, Josh Rachlis. "And we promise not to hold it back too long. We know the audience will be chewing at the bit! Get it? Chewing? Normally you'd say chomping at the bit. But I said chewing, because it's a beaver... Ok, never mind."

For those unfamiliar with the doc-style series, the story began when Pelt The Beaver found a pack of gum in a campers backpack in the forest. He realized he could chew this gum instead of trees. So naturally he moved to the city and bought a condo-loft. His adventures have taken him to a career in architecture, to running a bed & breakfast, and now to dealing with the heartbreak of a troubled relationship. All the while, he maintains his sweet, innocent disposition and curiosity about life.
