Dorchester Conference leaves Seaside Dorchester from Page 1A “One of our aims was to loop in more legislators be- cause during legislative ses- sion it was hard to get them over to Seaside,” Simpson said. “And look at where the Republicans in the caucus are — they’re in eastern Oregon.” A surprise LYRA FONTAINE/EO MEDIA GROUP Artist Billy Lutz with one of his paintings at T. Anjuli Gal- lery and Salon. Russ Vandenberg, gener- al manager of the convention center, said the organization’s decision to leave Seaside took him by surprise. “No, we didn’t expect it,” Vandenberg said. “It’s not that unusual for organizations to want to try other areas to see what another location has to offer. Although they had no objections about Seaside, they were ready for a change.” For Simpson, a decade- slong attendee, the move is bittersweet. “The service we got from the convention cen- ter staff over the years was fabulous,” he said. “What a gift to that community that center is. And they were al- ways great to work with.” “I don’t take things per- sonally,” Vandenberg said. “I R.J.

We just hope they come back at some point.” Paintings cause concern Seaside movie is ‘a love letter to my home state’ Paintings from Page 1A Movie from Page 1A Lutz’s accompanying narrative describes “the as- sault on women, immigrants, indigenous, people of color, LGBTQ, poor, creatures of the Earth, concept of soul, sanctity of our children’s faith in us, love, peace.” The painting has raised eyebrows along the close- knit Gilbert Street district. Seaside Police met with Lutz at the Holladay Drive gallery Wednesday before determining that the painting “was not a police issue.” Carl Yates, of Seaside, expressed his concerns in a letter to the Seaside Sig- nal, describing the painting as “shocking” and “in poor judgment.” “Oh, I know the state- ments and arguments con- cerning freedom of speech and all of that,” Yates said. “However, consider careful- ly where we go from here. If you are wise and thoughtful, having a love for your family and friends, you will discern the extreme of this person’s public expression as going way beyond the pale. … Let’s leave this kind of stuff under the category of ‘adult novelties’ where it belongs.” Philosophy of collectivism Born in Flint, Michigan, in 1951, Lutz started paint- ing with oils in 1965. “I have painted in themes for 30 years, developing a phi- losophy of collectivism pre- mised on the requirements of individual motive and other paradox,” he writes in his artist bio. In 1987, Lutz’s nude painting of Jesus Christ received an Oregon Bi- ennial award. Since that time, he has won numerous awards and his artwork has been displayed at galleries throughout the country. “Rape of Mother Earth” was first placed in the win- dow of T. Anjuli Salon and Gallery in 2007, during the President George W. Bush’s administration. After Trump’s election as president in November, Lutz chose to display the painting once again. Lutz’s daughter, Tiara Hooten, who owns the sa- lon, agreed to show the piece in the window be- cause “she believes in my art and my integrity,” Lutz said. “She’s been with my art all these years.” While writing the script, Zalutsky incorporated locations like Funland in Seaside, the Ar- cade and the convention center, which offered up a side room for an interrogation scene. Zalutsky, a Portland native and master of fine arts gradu- ate from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, was short-listed for the Independent Spirit Award’s “Someone to Watch Award” for his first feature, “You Belong To Me.” His 17-minute film “How to Make it to the Promised Land” was funded through Kickstarter and a Jerome Foundation grant. Zalutsky wrote “Seaside” during a residency at the Mac- Dowell Colony. This month, a social media fundraising campaign is helping filmmakers cross the finish line. Ariana DeBose, who ap- peared in the original Broad- way cast of “Hamilton,” stars with Oregon native Steffanie Leigh in this female-driven re- venge thriller. “The film is a thriller with lots of twists,” Zalutsky said. His script tells the story of a young woman who moves to the Oregon coast with her boy- friend to start a new life in the beach house he’s inherited from his parents. When the two bump into another young woman who has previous knowledge of the boyfriend, it becomes appar- ent the boyfriend hasn’t been entirely forthcoming about his past. Bad things — very bad things — soon start happening. To produce the film, Zalutsky recruited fellow Portlanders Alyssa Roehren- beck (“The Drunk Series,” D EL ’S O .K . SUBMITTED PHOTO Director Sam Zalutsky with cin- ematographer Phil Anderson. “Gage,” “DOTT”) and Kevin Corstange, who has appeared in productions at Portland Center Stage and now is a New York- based producer. Local casting was provided by Simon Max Hill, who also helped cast IFC’s “Portlandia.” “Seaside” received encour- agement and support from the local Seaside community, in- cluding in-kind donations from local businesses, among them D EL ’S O .K . is changing its name to Same great service YOUR #1 SOURCE FOR TIRES CUSTOM WHEELS • AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES Hours: Mon-Fri 8-6 Sat- 8-4 locally Sleepy Monk Coffee, Cannon Beach’s American Le- gion post #168, Seaside Gelato, the Spindrift Inn and the City of Seaside Union Bank. Basic Rights Oregon, a pro- gressive group for social equal- ity, also hosted a fundraiser to benefit both “Seaside” and the organization. As the film draws closer to completion, Zalutsky said he’s starting to submit to film festi- vals, some of them in Oregon. He hopes to have screenings in Portland and on the coast. The local landscape plays a key role, with its “beautiful but dangerous” cliffs, rocks, wind and rain. “As befits the landscape, we learn it’s not an easy place to live,” Zalutsky said. “The environment is beautiful but dangerous.” 503-325-2861 35359 Business Hwy 101 For emergencies 503-325-0233 Astoria, OR (miles crossing) November 1 st to December 15 th SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS and earn a chance to win gifts!
