Reviews
With graceful and accessible prose, deep expertise and vivid examples, Broderick Fox has leaped across the divide between film studies and film production courses. Makers of all kinds of audio-visual media will benefit from this clear, historically grounded, critically and ethically informed work. Step by step through the production process, Fox exposes the deeper questions that face anyone trying to say something meaningful about something that really happened. –Patricia Aufderheide, American University, USA “Since this book targets the educational market, this extensive listing also supplies the distribution source for each title, a crucial piece of information necessary for educators that many media textbook authors overlook….Rather than following a chronological structure, the book provides historical context for contemporary theory and weaves real-life, up-to-the-minute happenings throughout each chapter. It all feels relevant.” –Cynthia Close, Reality Ink, Documentary Magazine Spring 2018
