North Coast filmmaker uses a local backdrop
Local talent,
scenery
showcased in
‘Culpa’
By Gregory E. Zschomler
Cannon Beach Gazette
Drew Reid, 60, is the
driving force behind Arch
Cape Studios and the Web
show “Culpa,” Latin for
“guilt” or “fault.” His pas-
sion for using local talent
and vistas to make cine-
matographic art is as much
a part of his craft as are
cameras and boom mikes.
The idea behind “Cul-
pa,” Reid said, is to present
original stories told by a
local cast and crew, all set
against the region’s “amaz-
ing” backdrop. Much of the
last episode was shot in and
around Wheeler. Some of the
upcoming installment was
shot in Cannon Beach with
Haystack Rock in the back-

“Culpa” debuted in the fall
of 2014. The fourth episode

now in post-production and
will be uploaded soon. The
Web show is viewable at the
Arch Cape Studios site, but

season of the show.
While a small role might
occasionally be cast from
outside the area, most
players and crew live on
the North Coast. Cannon
Beach resident Pia Shep-
herd, often seen onstage at
the Coaster Theatre, had a
recent part. Reid described
Shepherd as a seasoned
actress who comes to the
project prepare, knows her
lines and has the proper
work mindset.

Another local artist is
Tolovana Park musician
Maggie Kitson. Kitson
grew up in Portland and
moved to Cannon Beach
right after high school. She
then got married and trav-
eled the world in a duo with
her new husband. When
that fell apart, Kitson spent
a year getting mentored in
the blues in New Orleans.
One of the reasons she
went to New Orleans was
to experience the world
of American playwright
Tennessee Williams, her
godfather’s brother. Now
returned to Cannon Beach,
she still sings the blues in
venues around the area.

According to Reid, “Cul-

There are occasional
