After Liz Kaar graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2005, she moved to Chicago and began her relationship with Kartemquin Films. At Kartemquin she learned the power of documentary film to convey meaningful ideas to the world, and how to go about sculpting them in the editing room. She is currently editing Kartemquin’s work-in-progress, Typeface, as well as acting as the assistant editor on two Kartemquin projects, In The Family, and Milking the Rhino. Recent projects also include assistant editing Kartemquin’s Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra Incognita and working as one of the producers for Kartemquin’s recent DVD releases including, Home for Life and Vietnam Long Time Coming. She also does freelance assistant editing and editing around Chicago.
The deadline for Summer internships at Kartemquin has passed. Applications are currently being accepted for the Fall.
