We were this close to cleaning house,” Sisson said. “Glorious” debuted at Eugene Film Society’s third annual 72 Hour Horror Film Competition on Halloween night, Oct. 31. Sisson and his crew began the film process Oct. 22 and had to submit their final product the night of Oct. 25. “We didn’t do any rehearsals or have any dialogue written before,” Sisson said. The competition’s only requirement for each two- to three-minute film was that it contain a mandated line of dia- logue and prop. Sisson described his film, which is not rated for all viewers, as a revenge story about pain, history and fate. “This is what happens in our world where people don’t CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE Saturday, November 21st, 12 -4 We are having refreshments, drawings and lots of fun!

Food from 1A For every pound of food that the community raises, the anonymous donor will make an equal contribution in dollars. “So, a thousand pounds will raise $1,000,” Wobbe said. When she and Mon Ami sponsored the Pounding, they spread their donation through- out the year. “Last year was one of our highest years at 8,000 pounds. I really tried to match that in pro- FRESH CRAB HERBED OYSTER STUFFING Recipe from epicurious. always have the best opportuni- ties,” he said. “Really, it’s about somebody who is pushed past the brink and submitted to sham- ing and abuse. Eventually it’s going to erupt. This is about that moment of a person reaching the breaking point.” Once it came time to film, Sisson called local business owners Michael Falter of City Lights Cinemas, John Flaherty of Florence Playhouse and Woody Woodbury of Grocery Outlet to use their spaces. “I’d like to thank them,” Sisson said. “All three of those guys got a phone call from me without notice and said I could use their space. We had the lay of the land.” Friends and artists stepped in as his production team this year, including Jeremy Austen, who styled Sisson’s makeup as the film’s protagonist. “Glorious” was filmed using available lighting, a field recorder, shotgun microphone and a Sony A1 camera with two lenses. It was edited using Final Cut Pro. The film stars Sisson, April Gilreath and Mark Marbas. Dmitri Von Klein filmed, Omar Alaniz composed music, Steve Crocker edited, Austen did makeup and Brynne Sapp deco- rated sets. The “Glorious” team won duce wherever possible, because I want my contribution to be nutrient-rich food. That seems to be the thing that is donated the least. Everything is needed, but I liked donating fresh ingredients,” she said. Wobbe first started the Pounding with Coast Radio’s Jon Thompson at Safeway in Florence. She thanked both Coast Radio News Director Bob Sneddon, who annually pro- vides live coverage of the food drive, and the Siuslaw News, who featured the event promi- nently over the years. “We get a real boost in the publicity that you only get in a small town like ours. Every dollar goes into the food, not into marketing,” Wobbe said. The event will again be at Grocery Outlet, 2066 Highway 101, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is always the Saturday before Thanksgiving. “It’s very strategic, because there is a huge run on the resources at Food Share that week before Thanksgiving. The idea is to really stock the pantry ahead of time,” Wobbe said. The staff at Grocery Outlet, led by owner Woody Woodbury, label many of the Florence Food Share’s needed items. Wobbe said, “The staff Ride with the #1 car insurer in Oregon.

Alexander Sevan also created a film. Both films will premiere in Florence at City Lights Cinemas on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 8:30 p.m., before the screen- ing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Sisson worked with Falter to get the controversial “Rocky Horror” to Florence. He looks forward to dressing in costume for the showing, which tradi- tionally includes audience par- ticipation. “We’re going to have fun and still do what the movie begs the audience to do,” Sisson said. City Lights asks that attendees follow guidelines when partici- pating in the show, and empha- size that nothing can be thrown at the screen or onto the stage. Ling Cod, Oysters, Steamers, Shrimp, Smoked Fish and more... DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread bread cubes in 2 shallow baking pans and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes total. Cool bread in pans on racks, then transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet. If bacon renders less than 1/4 cup fat, add enough oil to skillet to total 1/4 cup fat. Cook onions, celery, thyme, sage, garlic, salt, and pepper in fat in skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread cubes, then stir in bacon, parsley, butter, and oysters. Drizzle with stock, then season with salt and pepper and toss well. Transfer stuffing to a buttered 3- to 3 1/2-quart shallow baking dish. Bake, covered, in middle of oven 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until browned, about 30 minutes more. Cooks' note: Stuffing can be assembled (without oysters and not baked) 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature and stir in oysters before baking.
