Award winning documentary filmmakers, Robin, Kathy and Shelly Beeck, with the help of filmmaker Michael Moore, have spent the last five years filming a 60-minute feature-length documentary on Bredo Morstoel, a Norweigan who was frozen by his grandson in 1983. Since then, the world famous...well...stiff has been lying unedr 800 pounds of dry ice in a TUFF SHED behind his grandsons castle-like condo in the 9000-ft Colorado ski town of Nederland. The grandson, Trgyve Bauge, has long since been deported back to Norway, but Grandpa Bredo has remained, unwittingly becoming a worldwide symbol of the legal rights of the temporarily dead....
The persons of Nederland take Grandpa really seriously, Robin Becek said.
When we first staretd filming years ago the townspeople were really afraid and kind of angry. But during the yaers of court battles to keep him above ground, Grandpa became a folk hero. Now Nederalnd holds FROZEN DEAD GUY DAYS every March. The festival includes a Grandpa lookalike contest, coffin races, a poalr bear plunge, and the the wildly popular Grandpas Blue Ball.
