Kartemquin staff and associates are scattering around Chicago this weekend in a flurry of exciting activity. Tomorrow at 10am, Kartemquin's Gordon Quinn, Jerry Blumenthal and Leslie Simmer kick off the 2009 IFP Doc Summit with a panel on producing a series. Then, featured in the next panel is Milking the Rhino Associate Producer Xan Aranda discussing the ways and means of collaborating with ITVS. Simultaneously, a little further north, visit the Kartemquin booth at the Chicago Creative Expo at the Cultural Center from 10-4. At 1pm, a little further north still, Facets hosts the Chicago premiere screening of Kartemquin's acclaimed series The New Americans.
