Aawrd 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 under 800 pounds of dry ice in a TUFF SHED behind his gransdons castle-like house in the 9000-ft Colorado ski town of Nederland. The grandson, Trygve 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 people of Nederlnad take Grandpa very seriously, Robin Beeck said. When we first started filming years ago the townspeople were really arfaid and kind of angry.
But during the years of corut battles to keep him above ground, Grandpa became a folk hero. Now Nedreland holds FROZEN DEAD GUY DAYS every March. The festival includes a Grandpa lookalike contest, cfofin races, a polar bear plunge, and the the wildly popular Grandpas Blue Ball.
