“The collection of essays is comprehensive and, maybe even more importantly, it provides a starting point from which creative and academic discourse can take place. … encourages students and scholars to be open-minded about the possibilities of screen production research.” (Ashley R. Spillane, Film Matters, Vol. 09 (3), 2018)

“The project to clarify how creative practice fitted the university system’s imperative for research was born out of necessity. Practitioners were being turned into academics and their expertise had to be reframed as scholarly enquiry. The screen disciplines had been slow starters in this race while the arts, design and writing had made progress that had led to stronger system and consensual endeavour. Screen production has always presented human and social interests and conflict to popular audiences. This field-defining book moves the debate from necessity to celebration of screen production research as elucidation, explication and understanding of human and social interests and conflict—that is, as a mode of enquiry.” (Distinguished Professor Stuart Cunningham, Queensland University of Technology, Australia)
“Cutting through the forest of discourse about creative this and research that, artistic this and knowledge that, Batty and Kerrigan’s new collection illuminates the crisscrossing paths leading to where two worlds meet: the worlds of film production and of the academy. It looks closely at the push-and-pull of thinking, seeing, writing; technology, art, poetics; truth and representation and performance; and suggests productive ways of being, doing and making, in an engagingly elegant sequence of essays.” (Distinguished Professor Jen Webb, University of Canberra, Australia)
“As the possibilities for practice-based research expand both within and outside the academy, this exciting new collection introduces us to a range of creative and industry-embedded approaches to screen production research. Batty and Kerrigan are themselves leading the way in these areas and their collection showcases a number of practices, texts and methods which will be invaluable and impactful for students and scholars alike.” (Dr Bridget Conor, King's College London, UK)
“A timely and relevant contribution to the debate within creative practice presented through aseries of critical reflections on case studies that offer a valid series of alternative research methods to those more generally aligned to the social sciences; that screen production – and all that this term encompasses – is a form of research. Focussing on data drawn from practitioner case studies rather than the metrics of the empiricists, what’s here provides a legitimate and equally robust alternative to traditional scientific measures of citations, bibliometrics, impact factor and ‘H-indices’ demonstrating that these are largely irrelevant tools for evaluating the value of screen production as research with its inherent ability to generate new and potentially transformative knowledge from data drawn from practice.” (Professor Paul Egglestone, University of Newcastle, Australia)
