News & Notes from the Rodeo Trail, October 25
Late legendary bull rider and ProRodeo Hall of Famer Lane Frost is the subject of a new documentary by Fort Worth based production company Tough Draw. The feature length film LANE: Life | Legend | Legacy will focus on Frost’s faith, various challenges the young cowboy faced and most importantly, why 32 years after his death in Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days, he is still one of the most celebrated figures in Western culture. Tough Draw founders, Brad Hughes and James Trawick, along with producers Chris Juen and Chad Gundersen of the acclaimed series The Chosen and Out of Order Studios began production on the documentary in March 2020 and secured interviews with Lane’s parents Clyde and Elsie Frost as well as some of the most iconic names in bull riding and the rodeo community including Tuff Hedeman, ProRodeo Hall of Fame bull rider and Lane’s best friend, Don Gay, iconic champion bull rider and rodeo legend and country music star Cody Johnson.
