City Lights screens SMART to benefit OCHS
City Lights Cinemas and
Oregon Coast Humane Society
(OCHS) shared the stage July
23 when Rescate Bison
Productions and Bricker-Down
Productions’
documentary
“SMART” was shown to an
enthusiastic and large audience
there to enjoy the show and to
support the OCHS.
All proceeds from the show-
ing of this documentary were
donated by City Lights
Cinemas to OCHS.

Los Angeles area that recog-
nized a great need for special-
ized training and equipment
that did not currently exist at
that time, in order for animals
to be rescued from varying
means of entrapment.
The film told the story of
how this small group grew into
a very effective organization,
often creating the tools and
methodology to perform some-
times dangerous acts in order
to rescue dogs, cats, horses and
any animal in serious trouble.
The packed-full theatre
lobby also hosted two adorable
OCHS dogs available for
adoption.
SMART is the only known
organization in the United
States formed expressly for the
extreme rescue of animals
when traditional emergency
measures fail.
The film was meant to edu-
cate and to inspire other com-
munities to develop their own
animal rescue organization.

a wide range of topics that rec-
ognize the unique economic
diversity of Oregon’s coastal
and rural communities.
Facilitated discussions will

brewery business; ocean acidi-
fication and hypoxia; and much
more.
