Special guests at the screening included Frost’s parents Clyde and Elsie Frost, three-time World Champion Bull Rider Tuff Hedeman, PRCA stock contractor John Growney and documentary producer David Wittkower. Proceeds from the screening will go to benefit the Lane Frost Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The film features legendary Oklahoma cowboy Frost and famous Growney Brothers’ bucking bull Red Rock. Frost rode Red Rock at a series of competitions in 1988 that captivated rodeo fans.

The Frost and Red Rock documentary first premiered last October at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Lighthouse Productions film won the coveted Wrangler Award for Outstanding Documentary Film in June given annually by the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Center.

Frost won a world title in 1987 and passed away in 1989 at the age of 25 from injuries sustained in the bull riding at Cheyenne, Wyoming Frontier Days. He was inducted into the Prorodeo Hall of Fame in 1990.
