Our Golub doc is screening this Friday, November 10, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM @ Jengo’s Playhouse as part of the Indie fest, Cucalorous in North Carolina. We’d love to see you there!

In late October, Stevie screened to an audience of over 200 people in Nagano. A week of screenings in Hiroshima begins today, then the film heads to Saitama. Support of the film in Japan has been great – special thanks to Momo for all her hard work getting Stevie to audiences that appreciate it!

A handful of Kartemquin staff, interns and friends volunteered their time last night to help with WTTW's fall pledge drive. They answered phones, took pledges and helped Chicago's public television station raise money to stay on the air.
