Executive Director Betsy Leonard and Artistic Director Stacy Robinson have both been recognized in Newcity’s prestigious Film 50 list for their impactful roles in Chicago’s film community and for their commitment to amplifying Midwest voices and championing independent media. Congratulations Betsy and Stacy, and Gordon Quinn, who was included in their Honor Roll!
Hearty congrats also goes to the many, many individuals from the KTQ community who were recognized for the important work they do – Chicago is thriving! As Stacy notes, “I can’t think of a better place for a documentarian. It’s such a gritty and glorious city steeped in history, culture and adversity. It’s also a city that’s honest with itself, and perhaps that’s why Studs Terkel, one of America’s greatest oral historians, was devoted to Chicago.” See the full lists and Stacy and Betsy’s interview here.
