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!

FROZEN STUPID 2: Open Water
The ice is long gone.
Tony’s vehicle that fell through this ice is finally getting pulled out of Houghton Lake. His joyous moment however, is shattered when he is handed a big DNR fine for leaving it in the water so long. He has two weeks to pay.
Perfect timing. He hears about a fishing tournament in town with a hefty cash prize that very weekend. His financial problems, at least for now, could be over. As with Tony’s normal luck, it turns out the event is also the same day as his wedding anniversary. He figures that he can win the tournament and get cleaned up and off to dinner with his wife with plenty of time to spare.
So he resurrects his dad’s old 1960’s boat and enters the competition. But his troubles are just beginning.
As in the original film, Tony stays ever buoyant, against all odds, postponing trouble, being a friend, and trying to make the best of what life throws at him.
Frozen Stupid 2 has won at Cannes Independent Film Festival, Chicago Indie Film Festival,
Toronto Indie Film Festival and received the Audience Choice award at the Soo Film Festival,
and was an Official Selection at the LA Women’s Indie Film Fest.
We couldn't be more humbled and thrilled! Thank you!
