I’d like to acknowledge everyone who has ever watched and discussed a movie with me, especially Greg Feightner and Tamara Hanna Feightner; Alexander Field, who got the book to Brazos, who have taken good care of it; Katelyn Beaty, the chief giver of said care; Barry Taylor, who makes me laugh and makes me think; and most of all Brian Ammons, who is always my first reader and whose wisdom about vocation and filmmaking as a collaborative art and an experience shared with the audience mirrors the way the book has been written.
I also owe a debt of gratitude to Alexander Field and Katelyn Beaty and the staff at Brazos. And I would like to acknowledge the many people who have helped shape my spirituality and my love of cinema. They are too many to name, but they know who they are. And as always, I want to thank my family for all the support and encouragement they have given me, especially David and Rebecca, my best movie partners. I miss you.
