Hello, My Name is Beaver

Young art student Alex chose to make their graduate thesis project about a local DIY scene legend named Beaver. What was supposed to be a fun day of filming in the company of their childhood hero turns into an existential crisis, and an alarming wake up call to the world that awaits them after graduation. A biting commentary on late-stage capitalism, modern alienation, and the cross-generational bonds that form between two outsiders trying to exist on their own terms.
