You might recognize Mike Lobel’s voice from his early acting days on shows like Really Me or Degrassi: The Next Generation, where he played the unforgettable Jay Hogart. In recent years, Mike has stepped behind the camera, building a career as a picture editor and director. Now, he’s telling his most personal story yet. This fall, Mike releases his first feature-length documentary, Don’t Come Upstairs—a raw and intimate journey into a long-buried family secret his father kept hidden for over 30 years. It’s a powerful exploration of truth, memory, and the search for reconciliation. Follow Mike on social media for updates and release info—Don’t Come Upstairs premieres this fall, and you won’t want to miss it.
