If you grew up in Southcentral Louisiana,
you don’t need this explained.

You already know The Freeze.

You’ve done it at weddings.
At school dances.
At parties where someone inevitably yells, “PLAY THE FREEZE!”

But here’s the thing we discovered by accident:
Almost no one outside a 60-mile radius of Lafayette, Louisiana knows it exists.

That realization sparked a five-year documentary investigation, and now we need your help as we try to answer: When, where, and why did this happen, and why here?

Filmmakers Allison Bohl DeHart, Peter DeHart, and Rachel Nederveld have teamed up with true crime sleuth Megan Broussard Maughan to finally solve these mysteries.

DON’T TEASE ME.

We have a number of out of town interviews on deck - including with RONNIE MILSAP himself (yes, that is who sings the song!), the song’s producer and at least one of the writers!

We need $13,111.54 to be able to pay for gas, hotels, food, and additional crew to make these interviews happen. Any amount helps! And if you aren’t able to donate at this time, just sharing it with others will help a ton as well.

TRY TO PLEASE ME! Donate now

If you would like to donate $5,000+ or pay in another way, please email us instead.
