Film and Everyday Eco-disasters

Acknowledgments

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Our thanks go to Julia Lesage, Chuck Kleinhans, and John Hess, the editors of Jump Cut, for their continued support for our work. Two of our chapters appeared in Jump Cut in an earlier form: a revised version of “Oil Drilling and the Search for the ‘Golden Shrimp’: The Myth of Interdependence in Oil Drilling Films” and a shorter version of “Give Me Shelter: The Ecology of Homes and Homelessness.” We would also like to thank Deane Williams (editor) and Sally Wilson (editorial assistant) for including an earlier version of “Contemporary Eco-food Films: The Documentary Tradition” in their Studies in Documentary Film Journal. We also appreciate the help and support that our book editor, Bridget Barry, provided us throughout the publication process. Our manuscript reviewers deserve kudos for their useful commentary as well.
