Reviews
""Supply Chain Cinema is a critical reconceptualization of blockbuster film production and a scathing indictment of the ways in which higher education and skills training schemes have become complicit in producing a workforce amendable to demands of global capital. This is essential reading and a cautionary tale that troubles how governments and universities are responding to the creative economy."" --Kevin Sanson, Queensland University of Technology, Australia ""Supply Chain Cinema is a vital contribution, arguing persuasively that global film production can now best be understood via supply chain logistics, with all the 'just-in-time' dynamics of inequity and extraction that this entails. Taking us on a journey to both the UK and the UAE, Dickinson foregrounds the voices and experiences of current and future film workers as they are swept up, trained up and then compelled to navigate the vagaries of the creative supply chain."" --Bridget Conor, University of Auckland, New Zealand
