Based in the Nehalem Bay area, this go- rilla video group was formed to tell original dramatic sto- ries. Season one is a series of six episodes, each telling a different tale with reoccur- ring characters. Using most- ly local casts and crews, the episodes focus on the North Coast as the main player. Episode two, “Culpa: Ed- gar,” is premiering at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 17 at KALA, locat- ed at 1017 Marine Drive. Re- freshments will be available. “Edgar” is a fast-paced drama about Edgar, who loves his wife, Mona, so much that “till death do us part” just isn’t good enough. After passing, Edgar has himself “dug up, cleaned up, then wired up” and hung in a comfortable corner of his old house — until he is stolen. Ronny Glasswell P.I., a guy with his own bag of skele- tons, searches to nd Edgar despite the old man’s dys- functional family, a hammer wilding junkie and a retired psycho cop bent on revenge. s Present ‘Culpa’ at KALA 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17 KALA 1017 Marine Drive, Astoria $5 No good deed goes unpun- ished as Ronny soon nds out. Arch Cape Studios was formed in 2013 by Nehalem resident Drew Reid. With a background in forensic anima- tion, he brings a technical skill set as well as the curious eye of a landscape painter. Along with writing, producing and directing the rst three epi- sodes, Reid has formed a tal- ented production team. Wheeler resident Win- ston Laszlo is co-producing “Culpa” as well as acting in the web series. He plays the SEASIDE — Once again, youth will have the op- portunity to build bowls, cups and more at the 4-H after-school ceramics/pot- tery class offered in Sea- side. The after-school class- es will run for six weeks parts of Ken and Shawn Ke- pler, one a convicted pedo- phile and the other a retired police detective. Laszlo has appeared in several Coaster Theatre productions and has past on-air and television production experience from his work at Colorado Public Television, formerly KBDI. “It is a unique project,” says Laszlo. “I’m very im- pressed with Drew’s vision and dedication to the idea that a scripted, dramatic vid- eo series can be produced lo- cally on a shoe-string budget. I’m pleased to support the project in any way I can.” Judson Moore, who plays the part of Norm in “Culpa: Edgar,” developed his in- terest in media production while studying journalism at the University of Oregon. He went on to work as a produc- tion assistant on the motion picture “Imaginary Crimes,” which was lmed in Portland and on the Oregon Coast.

Ronny Glasswell, a private detective in the rst two epi- sodes of “Culpa”. Along with owning and running King- sher Farms, Trenary always wanted to try on-screen act- ing, and “Culpa” is his rst gig. A recent real-life hospi- tal stay was worked into the script and has changed the ending of episode two and the whole storyline of epi- sode three. Jen Flouton, Glasswell’s paralegal, is played by in-spirit local Nicole Poole. Jen is the counter force to Ronny’s chaos and bedlam in the web series. Poole bor- rows from her own experi- ence as a full-time student and single mom to express the character’s pressure, re- sponsibility and concern. Other local talents fea- tured in episodes of “Cul- pa” are Pia Shepherd, Greg O’Neill, Kerri Browne, Marleen Torian, Nula Reid, Jeff James, Starlight Frost and others.

The title must remain secret, as it gives away the ending of “Culpa: Edgar.” Local actor Aftyn Garvin will play the part of Amy Randle, an ea- ger-turned-disillusioned cub reporter on a small town pa- per. With the help of her edi- tor, Bev, played by the River Bend Player’s Betsy McMa- hon, Amy must sort out a tan- gled and dangerous secret.
