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!

Gandy Dancer
Written and Directed by Rich Brauer
We’re happy to announce that we’ve completed all cinematography on our latest feature film GANDY DANCER. We filmed in Ottawa and Benzie counties with a full crew of our all-Michigan crew, some of which have worked on our films for over thirty years! Yeah Michigan! We are in the post world now and hope to have it ready to share at the end of the year. Stand by.
Here’s the story we’re telling:
Viet Nam veteran Carl Olson lives alone. He is fine, but his daughter wants him safe, so a retirement center sounds like a perfect solution.
Then he hears that a nearby vintage railroad engine is to be scrapped. Since he had spent his entire career working on that very machine, he hatches a plan to save it, encounters a teenage runaway and together they head west.
The young man soon reminds Carl of his own son, who passed away many decades before. They begin to care for each other as father and son. They discover that life’s journeys sometimes lead to the same place.
All of our feature films are available to enjoy on Amazon Prime Video!
