Before Bakker, before Swaggart, before Robertson, there was Aimee Semple McPherson, the first media superstar evangelist. Her spectacular fall from grace is a real-life story tangled with scandalous

love affairs and a tabloid-frenzied trial.

It’s a little spooky this monthDear reader,

I have a mission for you – if you dare. Grab your coats, hop in the car and hit the road to Sammamish.

Here, you will � nd strange and eerie delights and confront some of your worst fears at Nightmare at Beaver Lake – similar to the idea of a haunted house – but taking place over three-quarters of a mile in Beaver Lake Park.

Walking (or running, if you’re like me and are easily terri� ed) through the dark woods, you will meet ghouls, deranged � ends and freakish characters.

Depending on how you do with horror movies, it’s either the worst, or best, Halloween you could hope for. Scariness-wise, it makes most haunted houses look like a “Sesame Street” set.

When people attend this haunt, featured on pages 10-11, they probably have all the expectations that come with Halloween. It will be dark, macabre, and leave visitors high on adrenaline, hearts pounding with fear.

But what they may not realize, is something good comes out of it, and I’m not just talking about the visitor’s thrill of being freaked out.

Over months of planning, training the actors who make the haunt come alive and building the fantastic sets, the organizers of this event form friendships and for some, � nally � nd a place where they belong.

Additionally, scaring people actually helps people. When you attend Nightmare at Beaver Lake, bring some non-perishable food or canned goods. You’ll get $1 o� your ticket price and donate to a worthy cause like Eastside Domestic Violence Program. Last year, the haunt generated $7,000 for local charities and organizations and donated more than 2,000 pounds of food.

In other words, have fun, do good. Happy Halloween!

Calm

BY NAT LEVY | PHOTO BY CHAD COLEMAN

As the 80 and 90-degree sun-splashed days cool down, and skies begin to gray, our collective winter-phobia begins to set in. But not so fast; we still have the fall. It's a time full of foliage and football, and pumpkin is in everything. But there is one more treat we all look forward to this time of year, hard cider. Bridging the gap from light summer beers and winter-time hot drinks, hard cider is a highlight of the season.

Despite its reputation for apples, Washington is a bit thin on hard cider breweries, but that doesn't mean there aren't options

Alpen� re Orchards220 Pocket Lane, Port Townsend(360) 379-8915alpen� recider.com

Located in beautiful Port Townsend, Alpen� re claims to be the sole organic cider brewery in the state. � e brew-ery is only two years old, but the owners have long held a passion for hard cider, dating back to their college days in the 1970s. � ey have created a variety of options including critically acclaimed Organic Pirate's Plank "Bone Dry" Cider ($12.50 a bottle, $135 a case). It can be found at stores and bars throughout the Seattle area, including Pete's Wines Eastside and Whole Foods on Lake Bellevue Drive in Bellevue.

Red Barn Cider16163 State Route 536, Mount Vernon(206) 321-9424redbarncider.com

Red Barn Cider is located deep in the heart of apple country in Mount Vernon. Red Barn features a variety of choices, based on Jonagold apples, some of the most � avorful in the state. With seven di� erent types of cider, Red Barn can satisfy everyone, from those with the taste for the driest varieties to a sweet cider a� cio-nado. You can � nd any of Red Barn's � avors at QFC on Bellevue Way and in Crossroads.

Westcott Bay Cider12 Anderson Lane, San Juan Island(360) 378-3880westcottbaycider.com

With more history than you can ask for, Westcott has been a powerhouse in the cider industry for more than a decade. San Juan is well known for its fruit producing exploits, and Westcott sits on an orchard that has been in operation since the 1870s. With only three brands of cider, Westcott doesn't o� er the kind of variety other places boast, but what it does produce is well re-

ceived. You can order one of each of the three varieties – dry, very dry and medium sweet – for $24 before shipping. Or you can head over to Whole Foods in Bellevue and pick up a bottle.

A special place for womenThe name of Belladonna Breast Imaging Center, (BBIC), in Bellevue says it all.

Bella Donna means “beautiful woman” in Italian – and that reflects the founder Dr Marita Acheson’s vision.

Each woman who walks through her door is a beautiful, unique person who will receive one-on-one attention and consultation as opposed to being treated like just another number. From the heated robes patients receive, to the welcoming softly lighted rooms- it is a stark contrast from the often glaring, impersonal environment of a typical breast imaging facility.

Most of the time, Acheson is able to give patient’s results the same day as the appointment.

“I wanted to create somewhere where women feel very comfortable and relaxed,” Acheson said. “Even though it is a very high technology sophisticated environment,

I didn’t want it to be intimidating. Patients feel that when they come in.” With a hand selected, experienced and knowledgeable staff, BBIC uses the latest in integrated digital technology to perform screening mammograms and diagnostic examinations, breast ultrasound including ShearWave™ Elastography, (recently FDA approved technology), ultrasound guided and stereotactic biopsies, fine needle aspirations, cyst aspirations and pre-operative guide-wire localizations.

Belladonna Breast Imaging Center is the only independent female owned practice dedicated exclusively to breast screening and diagnosis in the region. With the best technology and unparalleled in patient care, Acheson hopes

to help women take charge of this crucial aspect of their health. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 230,480 women will be

diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and 57,650 women with in situ breast cancer in America in 2011. Second only to skin cancer, it is the commonest form of cancer in women in the USA. Today, there are over 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the USA. Women have approximately a 1 in 8 lifetime risk of getting breast cancer. Every one of us, whether we have personally been diagnosed with breast cancer, or have a mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, friend or co worker diagnosed with breast cancer, have been affected by this common disease.

Women who are age 40 and older should come in and have a screening mammogram every year, as advised by the American Cancer Society, the Society of Breast Imaging and numerous other medical professional organizations. If you have a family history or other risk factors, you might need to start annual screening earlier. Having a screening mammogram every year is important. Screening every year from the age of forty will save 71% more lives than just screening every two years from age 50 to 74.

Keeping up with one’s breast health is a crucial responsibility for all women. Never ignore a lump, or any other breast changes, always have changes evaluated by your healthcare provider. At BBIC, Acheson strives to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages, which increases survival.

“If we can detect breast cancer early, we can save women’s lives,” she said. Unfortunately many women do not have regular mammograms because they do not think they are at risk if they do not have a strong family history of breast cancer. The majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer are in the average risk group. Every woman is at risk. Others just don’t get around to having the exam, because they are too busy, or have had a bad experience. Don’t compromise your health. “At BBIC we make it easy to schedule, will have your records transferred for you, and with our experienced technologists will make the exam as comfortable as possible,” said Acheson.

Dr Acheson reads on average more than 7,000 breast imaging exams per year, for a total of approximately 100,000 exams over the last 15 years. Who is interpreting your mammogram?

“I tremendously enjoy my patients and making a difference in their lives,” Acheson said. “Whether it is telling a woman that her mammogram is normal, or helping her through the biopsy, informing her of her biopsy results, and if needed helping find breast surgical, radiation and medical oncology specialists to meet her needs, it is all part of the service we provide here. At BBIC, we appreciate the trust our patients have in us, and treat them like the family and friends they are.”

Downtown Bellevue isn’t just about a � ashy night out.A� er the � ood of mini-skirts and shiny shoes recedes from the sidewalks Satur-

day morning, locals take a few hours to enjoy the empty streets and the company of neighbors.

A few restaurants, some serving whisky by night, open to this community for some of the best breakfasts around.

� is guide is more about where to � nd breakfast in downtown Bellevue, aside from hotels and Starbucks, than it is about what’s the absolute best. So grab friends and family and let’s go.

Lot No. 3460 106th Ave. NE425-440-0025

A hipster whisky bar by night, Lot No. 3 has comfort food that surprises, even for breakfast.

In the morning, its tall draper-ies are drawn back to reveal deep leather sofas, perfect for reading and sipping on perhaps the best black co� ee in town.

While the menu is short, it chang-es seasonally.

Its Eggs Benedict varieties change the most, but the dish is considered a favorite. � e hollandaise has a tart lemon � nish, and the eggs are poached perfectly, leaving a thick yolk to drizzle down the mu� n.

� e pork belly version is a fun alternative to canadian bacon rounds. � e salty meat is crisp on the outside and pulls apart in the middle.

Pumpkin pancakes are slated to replace their lemon-ricotta pancakes this October, but if the lemon � apjacks are any indication of � avor, they’re worth a try.

If you order the malted wa� es, take a moment to consider the taste of the � our. Its boxes hold little bits of � eur de sel, which balance the sweetness of real maple syrup. Don’t forget to order a side of candied bacon, which they serve as an appetizer at night.

Gilbert’s on Main10024 Main St. 425-455-5650

A well-known bagel deli, Gilbert’s is a staple for the Main Street neighborhood.Marked by white adirondack chairs and true sidewalk dining, don’t let its curious

sandwich combinations pull you away from the breakfast board.Gluten lovers can � nd satisfaction in their bagels, which are so� and airy. � ey

come toasted with cream cheese and jam. � e pesto bagel comes with a whole slice of tomato baked on top. Arrive early to ensure your choice.

IN THE AFTERNOONS

Omelets and scrambles are � lled and mixed to the max with goodies.� e lox and cream cheese, a classic deli selection, is a good way to treat yourself.

Ask, and they’ll top your bagels with just about anything.

Paddy Coyne’s700 Bellevue Way NE425-453-8080

Like most Irish food, breakfast at Paddy Coyne’s dominates with meat and pota-toes.

Rashers, a thick form of Irish bacon, and bangers, big breakfast sausages, stay true to their Irish roots. Try pairing them with red potatoes and eggs.

For the inordinately hungry, the Irish Breakfast, a plate loaded with about eight di� erent things, is also a tribute to culture. � e baked beans and broiled tomato are unusual for an American breakfast, but � tting.

� e soda bread is sweet and dense like pound cake, and served with orange mar-malade butter.

A favorite of many is the corn beef hash. � e corned beef is chopped so � nely its hard to see the potatoes. Top that goodness with fried eggs and a gener-ous scoop of hollandaise and it’s indisputably the epitome of satisfying breakfast food.

Café Pirouette14 102nd Ave. NE #3425-637-9988

Café Pirouette o� ers French favorites for an American breakfast.

Once a tea house � ve years ago, delicate China tea cups still line a cabinet by the espresso machine. � e cafe is bright and � lled with European knick-knacks.

� e fruit crepes are a warm welcome on a cool morning. When possible, try to order what fruit is in season, as all the � llers are made from scratch.

Most of the crepes are thicker than a true Frenchman might like, but being heavier, they can hold more goodies.

� e Pirouette Crepe is loaded with veggies and lightly seasoned. For omelets, try the ham and swiss. � e eggs are both � rm and moist, and the

cheese is gooey. A bit of advice: On a busy day, there can be a 45 minute wait for food. Still, for

those content to sip on tea, it’s a pleasant place to wait.

Palomino610 Bellevue Way NE425-455-7600

Considered to be the breakfast for powerhouse � gures from Monday through Friday, look beyond the continental breakfast and berry parfaits and dive into the full menu.

Favorites are the French Toast, served with sweet cream butter, and its traditional Eggs Benedict, made the classic way but with a housemade shallot hollandaise.

� e menu includes a variety of egg dishes, from scrambles and omelets to a frittata topped with roasted peppers and mozzarella.

Sides range from Hempler’s smoked bacon to Uli’s chicken apple sausage links and pork sausage patties.

At first glance, Dana Young is the last person who would scare you. The stay-at-home mom loves to bake and solve puzzles. She volunteers in

her kids’ schools and greets her Microsoft husband at the end of each day. Plus, her 5-foot-2-inch stature is not what you’d call intimidating. But beware – appearances can be deceiving. Each Halloween season, this

suburban mom transforms like a werewolf beneath a full moon. Young and 300 other volunteer actors are what make the haunted adventure, Night-mare at Beaver Lake, come alive with gory ghouls and spooky characters each year.

Their one mission – scaring you. This is not the typical haunted house with mechanical crows, pop-up

monsters and the lackluster finale of a man holding a rubber chain saw.It’s a nightmare come to life, a thrill-seekers paradise. “Our haunt is different because it’s theatrical, actors are coming up and

interacting with you,” says Young, who has played every character from lunatics, to half-animal/ half-humans. “There are a lot of ways actors can scare you including startling, staring, sniffing and acting in a way that’s unexpected. Even if you came through the haunt twice, it would be different each time.”

This improvised show put on by the actors is an essential part of the haunt, which takes place over three-quarters of a mile of haunted wood in Beaver Lake Park in Sammamish. The path winds through sets with spooky graveyards, car-nival kitchens or giant, swirling vortexes with trippy black light and clowns, depending on the theme that year. This October, visitors will face a haunt called “We Know What Scares You.”

As usual, Young is looking forward to the adrenaline rush she loves, scaring the wits out of people’s minds – and sometimes, even something wet from people’s pants.

“We do have a Pisser Pants Award for whoever can con-firm making an adult pee their pants first,” said Young, the proud recipient of last year’s award.

Young emerged as the winner when, in character as a ghoul, she went up behind a woman and sniffed, like an animal surveying its prey.

That was all it took. Young’s victory was confirmed by a security guard on hand, who happened to be carrying a flashlight.

Several of these or similar “little accidents” happen each year.

“Instead of trying to keep it a secret, people always seem to throw their hands up in the air and say, ‘Oh my God, I just peed my pants,” Young says.

But Young isn’t on a mission to make people pee-their-

pants-scared, per se. “At 5’2,” I don’t mess with anyone

who’s shorter than I am,” Young says. “My favorite part is when they scream, and then they laugh.”

Bringing the joy of scaring people to Sammamish was originally for the teenagers there, who, between school and home, were fairly bored on the plateau, according to responses from a survey put out by the Sammamish Ro-tary Club in 2004, asking participants how the city could be improved.

That same year, the haunt was born, giving something for teenagers to both attend and participate in. Nearly 4,000 people screamed their way through the

nightmare over a four-night period. Last year, more than 9,700 people en-

joyed the haunt over 11 spooky nights. Teens, as well as community members like Young bring it to the next level each year; adding more elaborate sets, such as a giant trebuchet and organizing an event filled with actors that jump out of nowhere, and somehow, know visitors by name (a sneaky trick).

But aside from the customer who pays to get spooked, Nightmare at Beaver Lake benefits people in need by donating food and money to charities.

Visitors receive $1 off their ticket if they bring a food donation, and last year, the haunt raked in 2,430 pounds of canned goods and non-perishable items that were donated to Eastside Domes-tic Violence Program. Additionally, organizers made donations totalling $7,000 to groups that helped out with the haunt, the Issaquah Senior Center and Sammamish Youth Board, among others.

The fact that scaring people helps others is what makes Nightmare a perfect volunteer activity for ordained minister, Rev. Shane Mitchell, who’s been involved since the haunt’s early years.

Finding a safe, positive and fun envi-ronment to let human emotions of hate,

anger or even insanity be channeled in a way that benefits charity is one big “love fest,” as Mitchell puts it.

“When I found scare, I found a way to express those things society says we can’t do,” Mitchell says. “That was cathartic for me.”

Mitchell, an advanced scarer, once frightened a teenage girl through the haunt, onto the shuttle that takes visi-tors back to the parking lot, and even jumped into the car with her confused dad, speaking in a deranged voice that he was going to “live under her bed from now on.”

The girl was freaked out – but she couldn’t get enough of it, Mitchell says.

Scaring is a free, legal high that really does benefit everyone involved, Young says. The visitor gets an unforgettable Halloween, charities receive a dona-tion and the person doing the scaring benefits in many ways, too: finding a passion for set, costume and makeup design, having the time of one’s life each October and finding a community of like-minded individuals.

“Many of us are the freaks, the geeks the misfits,” Mitchell says. “We may not have been the kids on cheerleader squads or the football team, but we need something that we can be a part of too, and that’s what we find in scare.”

Years ago, I began keeping a list I call Crucial Life Skills for Babies. It was born of my realization that suc-cessful adulthood requires a child to learn a myriad of skills beyond reading, writing and arithmetic.

In fact, these vital lessons may be more valuable than traditional education – certainly more practical for ev-eryday use than algebra or Shakespeare. It’s possible to categorize many of these key learnings into an abbrevi-

ated lesson plan of sorts, focused on four catego-ries: Picking, Searching, Wiping, and Sucking.

PickingMany of the mini-dra-

mas and traumas we navi-gate each day are centered around the seemingly simple act of picking: Picking an out� t, picking the bathroom door lock when your sister is taking too long, picking your

battles, picking your nose (privately if you’re smart, publicly if you’re under � ve).

Mastering the art of picking is important. How your child handles picking teams now may indicate her ability to pick a mate later. Super bonus to the parent of the child who invents a way to pick your family, they

will be heroes to many. Hopefully they’ll pick you to keep you around for the I.P.O.

SearchingI spend half my life searching. Anyone who has

coached my kids knows this, having rolled their eyes as my shoeless, pad-less and ball-less spawn arrive at practice. We are all perpetually searching. Search-ing for solutions, searching the crowd, searching for acceptance, searching for data, searching for socks, searching for Mom, who is searching for something to write with–AGAIN! Learning the art of searching early is lucky, as long your kids don’t enjoy searching for trouble, like I did.

WipingParents everywhere do a happy dance the day their

kid masters the delicate art of wiping. � ere is a re-markable sense (and reality) of liberation when Junior learns how to wipe: How to wipe his nose, his bottom, the milk he just spilled all over the kitchen table. Basic wiping skills are important and lead to more detailed wiping skills such as sunscreen application, waxing dad’s car, applying acne meds and using my favorite Costco Kirkland brand disinfecting wipes to clean toi-lets. If you have boys you know that last one is not only crucial, but life-enhancing for the whole family.

SuckingOne of the most amazing and adorable tricks a baby

can perform intrauterine is sucking its thumb. It is our most instinctual and o� -used skill. � ink about it. You’re born, and it’s all “Welcome to the World, Life Sucks, Suck � is!”

And so it begins. Babies suck in their � rst breath and then spend their � rst days searching for something to suck. � ey almost immediately graduate to picking; breast or bottle, binky or thumb? Meanwhile, they are getting constantly wiped on one end or the other until the day arrives that they can do it themselves. But the sucking doesn’t stop with weaning.

It just changes. � ey still have to learn diplomacy skills or rather, how to suck up; beginning with grand-parents, moving on to teachers, bosses etc. By the time we have our own children we’re expected to know and teach others how to traverse that � ne line between practical suck-uppery and sycophantic blather.

And then of course there is the cold reality of having to deal with life’s disappointments. Whether it’s not getting the same teacher as your best friend, getting passed over for promotion or missing out on that rare YSL nail polish color by just one customer, it’s crucial we learn there are times in life where we just have to suck it up!Wanna say Hiya to Heija?

Stylish guests at-tended Fash-ion’s Night Out (FNO) on � ursday, Sept. 8 at � e Shops at � e Bravern. � is

global event was created in 2009 in NYC by Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, with the goal of putting excitement back into the retail industry.

FNO is now a global event from New York to Seattle, Australia to Russia. Upon arriving on the red carpet in Bellevue, guests had the opportunity to pose for that perfect photo and be interviewed on camera by Joan Kelly and Duell Fisher.

� e highlight for many of us was the runway fashion show at Neiman Mar-cus, where beautiful models wore the key trends for fall 2011. � e “Lady Chic” look stood out: pumps, pencil skirts, dresses, leather pants and skirts, fur col-lars and shrugs and handheld handbags.

� e new hot color for fall is Bordeaux. All shades of burgundy, red, and pink accents, were showcased with shoes, sweaters, necklaces and cu� s and leather gloves. FNO was a memorable evening where everyone took the time to be seen

by wearing the perfect out� t� ese guests know how to look per-

fect on the red carpet. � ey selected the right out� t that nicely showcased their body silhouette and their photo pose and smile shows that they are comfort-able being in the spotlight.

Rose Dennis is a Greater Seattle style icon. Singled out by numerous publica-tions, such as Seattle Magazine, she’s been crowned as Seattle’s Best Dressed, a Signature Style Uptown Girl and as a reigning tastemaker.

BY GABRIELLE NOMURA

Even as a high school student in Long Island, N.Y., Jim Breuer knew he wanted to be a standup comedian. Little did he know he’d grow up to star on Saturday Night Live (SNL), making fan-favorite roles for himself as the original character “Goat Boy” or co-star in the cult favorite “Half Baked” with Dave Chappelle. In addition to touring the country as a comedian and his projects in � lm, TV and radio, Breuer enjoys spending time with his wife and three daughters in their New Jersey home, playing pick-up games of baseball and watching the New York Mets.

scene: Describe your standup in one word. JB: Animated.

scene: What was it like working with Chappelle in the movie “Half Baked”?JB: It didn’t suck. Working with Dave was like working with your clown best friend. I didn’t even audition for the movie. He trusted me enough to put me in a co-starring role. When someone gives you that much trust, it’s the greatest feeling in the world.

scene: Tell me about going on tour with your 84-year-old father in 2008. Footage from those adventures with your dad eventually became the documentary “More � an Me.” JB: � at was one of the most challenging, funny, inspiring and testing times in my whole life. It changed my future with standup, it changed the way I love, it changed the things I made. It kept one foot of mine in humanity and reality.

scene: Has fame changed you?

JB: No, I don’t think so. My awareness of who is staring and looking at me has changed though. I constantly want to set up an example. If anything, it changed me for the better. When I’m out with my kids or my father, I want to be an example so people will say, ‘If that famous guy can do it, so can I.’

scene: You’ve done TV, standup, radio and � lm. Is there a medium you feel most at home in?JB: � at’s a hard one. Radio, because you don’t have to be hilarious the whole time, just entertaining. I can do that for hours.

scene: Which cast members were the most fun to work with during your time on SNL, 1995-1998?JB: I’m going to say Tracy Morgan, Colin Quinn and Darrell Hammond. We come from the same tribe. We understand each other. We knew each other’s language; how we ticked. At the end of the day, we had each other.

scene: What’s one thing your fans would be surprised to learn about you?JB: I’d say it’s the deep spiritual side, not religious, but spiritual. � ere’s a big di� erence.

scene: What’s the best thing about being a dad?JB: Watching life all over. Watching home videos of your life. I had a great childhood. And now, I get to watch and enjoy life through their eyes. It’s the most powerful, giving thing. I never laughed so hard. I’ve never fought so much.

Breuer will perform at the Parlor Live Comedy Club Oct. 7-8. For tickets, go to parlorlive.com. For more information, go to www.jimbreuer.com.

The ‘Half Baked’ star talks SNL, Dave Chappelle,

and the joys of dad life.

Laughs

BY NAT LEVY

Ben Kadie's age shows on screen. His earlier work included purely green-screened backgrounds resembling mob

movies and comedies starring his friends. � e over-the-top concepts were full of shootouts and one-liners.

But the now 16-year-old junior at Interlake High School is growing up, and the evidence of that can be seen in his latest � lm.

Kadie is in the midst of shooting his most mature, hard-hitting � lm yet, “Alone To-gether.” � e story focuses on two families who take a trip to a � ctitious Chilean Island (portrayed by beaches on Whidbey Island, and forested areas on Cougar Mountain)

only to become ship wrecked. � e majority of passengers escape on a

life ra� , but the teenage stars of the movie, Brendan (Asher Jordan) and Eloise (Belle-vue High School graduate Brianna Massie) are stuck on the island together. � is devel-opment represents a fantasy for Brendan, who has held unrequited feelings for Eloise much of his life.

"He can choose to keep Eloise there [so that she’ll] still be with him or leave the island because he found a working radio," Kadie said. "It's sel� sh love versus sel� ess love."

Kadie has been working on the concept for nearly a year. Like his past projects, the director is keeping “Alone Together” low-budget.

But he’s made a number of changes to his style for this picture.

For example, he made more of an e� ort to shoot in real locations, rather than green

screens. Other than the Whidbey Island/Cougar Mountain shots, Kadie and his crew were able to secure use of the Arthur Foss

from the Northwest Seaport. � e 1889-built vessel serves as the boat taking the two main families to the Chilean island. He's shot underwater, and put together a ship-wreck sequence of the century-old boat.

Kadie's emphasis on believable sets, comes with a more professional cast. For the � rst time, he was able to audition actors and actresses for the character-driven � lm.

"I think as I've just gotten older, I've become more interested in stories about char-acters rather than stories about explosions," he said.

And the actors took notice. More than 60 people tried out for the leads of Brendan and Eloise. For Massie, who

has been acting since the fourth grade, working with Kadie was a pleasant experience. "Ben is only 16 and he hasn't been on many professional shoots," said Massie, 18.

"He is more professional and nice to work with than other directors because he cares about his projects in an innocent way."

� e 19-minute � lm is another step for Kadie up the ladder into the � lm-making world.

Kadie is primarily a self-taught director, who uses minimal gear. He has stepped up his supplies this time around, using boom mics and a new camera. All of this leads to a goal of continuing his self-education as a � lmmaker.

He’s attended � lm camps and learned new skills during his high school career. He has submitted his � lms to festivals and posted many of them on YouTube. His website, slugco.com gives a potential audience the chance to view all his movies and keep up with his projects.

Kadie’s ultimate goal is to attend � lm school to become a director. “Alone Together” will likely be done in December, and it represents one more step

in the evolution of the self-taught � lmmaker, who does almost all of the production work himself.

“Just doing it so much is what’s taught me the best.”
