LOS ANGELES - PennZone -- Incandescent Entertainment is thrilled to announce the production for its upcoming film, Portal in the Pines, a UFO horror  that delves into the unexpected consequences of scientific exploration. Set against the haunting backdrop of rural landscapes, the film follows a courageous fireman who uncovers a chilling secret—a portal to hell opened by a clandestine particle collider.

The production received a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement to allow filming during the union strikes.

Jamie Kennedy, an actor and comedian who previously starred in the Scream and Tremors franchises, takes on the lead role of the rural fireman thrust into a world of otherworldly danger. Guiding the creative vision of Portal in the Pines is director Eric Gibson.
