Portal to Hell is the tale of Jack (Roddy Piper), a gruff superintendent whose only desire in life is a little peace and quiet—to put his feet up, and enjoy a good book. It’s a simple need that Jack will have to pay the ultimate price to gain: by going toe to toe with the dark lord himself, Cthulhu, and his minions! Jack must close an evil cosmic portal that has been torn open and send the great old one back to whence he came. It’s a tale of an epic battle of biblical proportions…all confined to the boiler-room of an apartment building.

Written/Director/Produced by Tony Jonick

In 2010, I discovered a cassette telling the story of how my Mother’s Grandmama escaped to the U.S. as a young girl. The tape, translated from Ghesmashkikcili tells of the bravery and wit of my great-grandmother. She had to strike an unusual bargain with dark forces to win her freedom. While the tiny country of Ghesmashkik is completely forgotten today, I knew I had to preserve her story. Using photos from the family archives, This film honors the spirit and irreverence of a woman I never met, but an proud to be descended from.
