On Halloween, Sean Sisson
and his production team won a
victory for coastal creative
artists: In a competition with
more than 50 submissions,
Sisson’s three-minute horror film
“Glorious” won first place in the
audience vote and second place
in the juried show.
“The fact that we won the fan
vote and got second for the jury
was definitely awesome. 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

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-

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

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,

by

Woody

film to 15 minutes.
“One of the things I’m most
thankful for is that really, any-
time I’ve asked, people have
just opened doors,” Sisson
said. “If anyone that’s young is
intimidated by what it takes to
make a movie, just try asking,
because there are people out
there who want to give kids an
opportunity.”
This year, there were two
submissions by Florence
teams. 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.

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.
