Frozen Stupid2:Open Water - now available on DVD or streaming
​
Frozen Stupid2:Open Water is a feature-length motion picture based on an original screenplay written by Rich Brauer. It is a sequel to the original film also written and directed by Rich Brauer.
Most of the original professional cast and crew returned. These included 9 SAG performers coming in from as far away as Los Angeles. Professional champion walleye fisherman Mark Martin appears as… Mark Martin!
Brauer’s feature films offer intern positions on the crew for emerging film students interested in pursuing filmmaking as a career. This gives a rare opportunity for the next generation of technicians and artists to work on a real film, with real actors. Since the Michigan Film Incentive no longer exists, these young and enthusiastic individuals appreciate this as a special and unique chance to pursue their personal artistic growth.
​
Many organizations and individuals in Michigan were excited about the return of our crew and the creation of this film. Among them; Roscommon EDC, the Roscommon Tourism Bureau, and the Houghton Lake Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, local tackle shop Lyman’s on the Lake (who sold almost 2,000 DVD’s of the first film) and many other businesses participated in the fun.
Frozen Stupid2:Open Water will be Brauer’s 9th feature film produced in Michigan.
Filming took place during September 2019 in Roscommon County. Post-production is underway. The finished film is expected to be premiered sometime in the summer of 2020. Stay tuned!

DOGMAN3: Fight to the Finish the third and final chapter of our fun and exciting movie trilogy had been scheduled for filming in Benzie County, Michigan for the spring of 2024.
​
Both of the previous feature films deliberately left cliffhanger questions unanswered, according to Brauer, “Now it’s time to bring exciting closure to the series”. Brauer adds “This film will be scary and fun, family-friendly and is surprisingly redemptive”.
The original primary cast, including Larry Joe Campbell, Kimberly Guerrero, and Stacie Mitchell is eager to reprise their roles, all come from Los Angeles. The balance of the professional cast hail from Michigan.

​
It’s Christmas eve, 1963, and a winter storm rages outside. The small wilderness AM radio station does what it can to entertain and inform its listeners who live across the vast reaches of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The station’s only staff on this particular night is JOHNNY, who really just wants to put in his time and finish his shift at midnight.
​
But things change when he gets a visit from the telephone repairman and senses that there might be something else to this man. In any case, he really doesn’t care one way or another and tries his best to ignore him. The problem however, is that the man won’t leave.
​
The drama that follows, contained within the cramped walls of this remote cement block structure, unravels the challenge that making the distinction between citizen and criminal can be a difficult and perhaps impossible task.
​
Johnny gets more for Christmas than he bargained for.
