On April 29, 2008, "009" premiered at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) with 73 other youth-made films to wide notice, many nice comments, and much encouragement. Noah and Ben enjoyed meeting, talking to, and (most of all) seeing the films of the other filmmakers."009" was one of five films to earn a nomination for festival's biggest award, the Thomson Young Innovator of the Year. Ben was also the youngest director of the festival that included many films from high schoolers and college students. Ballard High and the University of Southern California film school were especially well represented.(Click the little poster to the left to see pictures from the big screen premiere.) |

"I am so impressed [...]!! How much time did they invest in the movie? It’s pretty amazing what they have managed to do….congratulations!!" |
| Rocket Scientist, Pasadena, CA |
"I thought the film was fun and cute. I loved
the little details: the washing machine in the opening credits, the
books in the Calzone guy's office, Mt. Doeadeer, etc. I couldn't help
but admire what an enormous amount a work it would be to put this
together for any two people, let alone two kids. Great job!

Official Slugco Log Line: |
Secret Agent 009, Pewee Bon, pits his cool cunning and clever gadgets against the forces of evil villain Dr. Mort to recover the Incredibly Easy To Steal Diamond. Humor and special effects (live action, animation, CGI) create microcinema of epic proportions." |
Official Slugco 125-Word Synopsis: |
'009' is microcinema of epic proportions. With
glossy style and a BANG we meet Pewee Bon (Noah Hirsch), Secret Agent
009. His nemesis? Super villain Dr. Mort (Ben Kadie). With explosive
shoot outs and a hair-raising car chase, the 12-year-old filmmakers
capture the humor of larger-than-life action films.

Official Slugco 250-Word Synopsis: |
'009' is microcinema of epic proportions. With
glossy style and a BANG we meet Pewee Bon (Noah Hirsch), Secret Agent
009. His nemesis? Super villain Dr. Mort (Ben Kadie). When Dr. Mort
pilfers the Incredibly-Easy-To-Steal-Diamond', 009 must try to retrieve
the diamond and save the world. On one side, Mr. Bon fights with
astonishing miniature gadgets, outdated training films, and cool
cunning. On the other, Dr. Mort leads an army of henchmen from an
Austrian mountain lair that conceals a weapon of deadly capabilities.
With explosive shoot outs and a hair-raising car chase, the 12-year-old
filmmakers capture the humor of larger-than-life action films.

Chapter 5:
| San Diego, CA |
“I nominate it for best use of a pneumatic or simulated pneumatic cat transport device in a evil villain bomb sequence.” |
Chicago, IL |
“Very slick. I especially admire your choices in haberdashery, and the bow ties are nothing to sneeze your nose at (if I may risk ending my sentence with a preposition). Nicely done!” |
Chapter 3:
Peoria, IL |
“How extraordinarily talented these young men are! Their future is unlimited. In 009 chapter 3, they demonstrate a wonderful sense of humor and an amazing technical sophistication. I'm looking forward to their next chapter.” |
Bellevue, WA |
“Snazzy music and costumes! I can’t wait to meet Dr Mort – he sounds like a fun guy.” |
Chapter 2:
Completely unbiased uncle of Ben and owner of the electric car that used to be on the poster. |
“Cool Stuff and wow what a beautiful car on the poster. If it were electric it would be the perfect car. ” |
Chapter 1:
An unbiased review by Ben’s father: |
“With glossy style and a BANG, Chapter 1 introduces Agent 009. The 12-year-old filmmakers offer the humor of larger-than-life action leading to evident damage of their filming locale. The chapter ends with the slickest titles involving a major appliance that this reviewer has ever had the pleasure to see. I look forward to future chapters, hoping the filmmakers will be able to create a villain worthy of the skilled and composed Agent 009.” |
Film professional in LA: |
"I like it a lot, I can’t wait to see the other chapters." |
From the Internet: |
"awesome credits" |
Tucson, AZ |
"Bravo! More!" |
