Ong’s Hat is rumored to have once been the site of a gateway to another dimension. After meeting on a forum devoted to the urban legend, yoga instructor Sarah Larsen, and schoolteacher Charlie Brill, go on a road trip to the New Jersey Pine Barrens where a group of renegade Princeton professors had once conducted quantum physics and chaos theory experiments to discover a new theory for dimensional travel. When Sarah disappears, Charlie finds himself at the center of a mystery. Corey Brill (The Walking Dead) stars in this docu-thriller for Radio 4 and BBC Sounds from the makers of The Polybius Conspiracy and Passenger List.

Legendary comic Bobcat Goldthwait created a persona so original and outrageous that it catapulted him to fame before he had even turned 20. And while laughing audiences tried to figure out who was behind the strange and often surreal persona that would scream, stutter, and wheeze on stage, TV, and film, it was Bobcat himself that did the most questioning…eventually leading him on a new path that required personal reflection and professional risk; giving way to a second act in the independent film world that took him to Sundance and beyond.
