Film Theory: The Basics

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank Edward Branigan and Warren Buckland for providing me with an initial opportunity to think about the history of film theory. I am very thankful to Siobhan Poole for getting this project underway. Thank you to everyone else at Routledge, especially Natalie Foster and Sheni Kruger, for seeing this book all the way to the end. I want to also thank Andrew Ritchey and Ofer Eliaz for keeping theory interesting. My biggest thank you goes to Ben Stork and Kris Fallon. This book would not have been possible without them. Finally, I want to thank my mom, Joanne, my sisters Patricia and Krista, and Gina Giotta for being there for me both before the writing begins and whenever it ends.
