Slamdance 2025 | A Conversation with Portal to Hell Director Woody Bess & Producer/Star Trey Holland
Hey everyone!
I'm thrilled to share another film festival interview with you. This time, I had a conversation with Portal to Hell director Woody Bess as well as the film's producer/star Trey Holland.
Portal to Hell is a film about Dunn, a debt collector whose routine life is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a portal to hell in his local laundromat.
