-About Slugco-
Noah Hirsch and Ben Kadie started making movies together while third graders at Seattle Country Day School. Movie makers need a production company. They named theirs “Slugco Inc.”, motto: “Doin’ Things the Slow Way Since 2003”.
In 2006, as sixth graders they created their fifth film, Perilous Skies, a WWI aviation movie with rubber chickens and whoopee cushions. The film was invited to the kick-off screening for the “National Film Festival for Talented Youth”. A month later it won the First Prize (Youth Division) of the Seattle Times’s Three-Minute Masterpiece Contest, leading to two screenings at the Seattle International Film Festival, as well as showings on local cable TV and at the Fremont Outdoor Cinema.
Over the summer of 2007, Slugco started principle filming of its most ambitious production, “009”, a spy comedy. As per the Slugco motto, they finished editing the final chapter just before the first film festival deadline in 2008. At that festival, the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY), "009" was one of five films to earn a nomination for the biggest award, the Thomson Young Innovator of the Year.
More information about Slugco can be found in an article from the June 6, 2006 Bellevue Reporter and in the press mentions of "009".
