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.

| 0:47.3 | the building operated as a hotel. So two and a half floors were hotel rooms, and on half of the third floor, there were student |
| 0:56.2 | rooms. The whole building operated on a swipe key system that was pretty outdated, and all of |
| 1:03.1 | the doors were powered by four AA batteries. If the batteries died, there was a fairly lengthy process |
| 1:10.3 | to replace them and reprogram the door. |
| 1:13.3 | Late one night, this dark-haired man came to the front desk from inside the building while I was working an overnight shift. |
| 1:21.2 | It was about 2 a.m. He said that he left his key card in his room. |
| 1:26.4 | I made him a new one, which I've always considered |
| 1:29.0 | my first error of the night. Technically, hotel guests could have as many room keys remade as they |
| 1:36.2 | wanted. Students, however, were supposed to be given temporary key cards for a $2 fee that would |
| 1:43.2 | be refunded when their original key card was located. |
| 1:47.0 | As I gave the guy a new key card for his room, I asked him if he was a student or a hotel guest. |
| 1:54.0 | He replied, student. |
| 1:56.0 | At this point, I should have checked our system to apply the $2 fee to his account, but I got caught up |
| 2:03.2 | and doing other administrative duties, so I forgot. Honestly, I was quick to trust people at this job. |
| 2:11.6 | I trusted everyone I encountered easily, but I quickly learned not to. |
| 2:21.1 | Later on in the night, maybe around 3 or 4 a.m., he came back to the desk again and said that he couldn't get into his room. |
| 2:27.1 | I asked if he just forgot his key again, and he said no, and stated that the door just wasn't |
| 2:32.9 | working. I asked if a light was coming on when he swiped the card and he said no, and stated that the door just wasn't working. |
