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
​​
It’s not over till it’s over…
According to the legend, every seven years, the Dogman appears. It’s been seven years.
The last time Hank Purvis saw one, it was on a lone country road, dead. Everyone thought that was the end of it.
Then, after the tragic death of his sweet wife Dorothy, Hank moved from his farm into town to adopt a new life. It was his way of coping.
Set against the picturesque northern Michigan landscape, the Dogman has indeed returned and Hank finds himself caught in the middle of it again.
He has no choice but to gather his allies from past Dogman encounters. Together, they embark on a journey to fight the clock to save mounting victims and end it forever.
This time, it’s for keeps.
