The book's strategy-positioning the studio at the centre of current international production-permits a very persuasive and useful analysis of where the industry (in the largest sense) is now and how it got here. -- R. J. Thompson, La Trobe University Media International Australia The global film industry is evidently on the verge of a major sea-change as more and more shooting activities decentralize from traditional centers of production-above all Hollywood-to other locations, all over the world. Goldsmith and O'Regan provide us with the first systematic in-depth assessment of this trend and its implications for the future of the global landscape of film-making activities. -- Allen J. Scott, University of California, Los Angeles
