Filmmaking duo return to Gig Harbor with their latest movie

Mike and Allison Hayhurst of Evening Squire Productions have brought many memorable & award-winning shorts to theGig Harbor Film Festival. The team will be in attendance for the 6th time this year with their new feature film, "And Through the Portal We Go."

Groundhog Day meets Heaven’s Gate when three cult members get stuck in a time loop while trying to fulfill the promise of transcendence through a portal in the woods. The film combines comedy and pathos in an exploration of what it means to truly transcend.

Katie, Craig, and Mikey are the final three members of a cult that has prepared for years to achieve transcendence by stepping through the portal. After completing their final duties, the trio enter the portal…only to find themselves back at the start of the previous day. In an attempt to complete their transcendence, the trio must figure out why they are unable to get through the portal as their fellow cult members did. Will adhering closely to the cult’s teachings help them finally achieve perfection, or will they need to learn more about themselves–and each other?
