An investigation of the cultural practices and belief systems of Los Angelesbased film and video production workers.
""Production Culture" is a stunningly original contribution to film and television studies. John Thornton Caldwell's argument--that we can learn a lot about the production of culture by looking at the cultures of production--is borne out in an analysis that ranges across texts, populations, and institutional and physical spaces. This is a superb book."--Anna McCarthy, author of "Ambient Television: Visual Culture and Public Space"
