The Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors

摘要

Jerry Roberts is an acquisitions editor with a small catalogue of titles dedicated to the entertainment industry. The latest offering is The Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors. The tome is impressive in both its physical presence as a hardback, two volume set, and in its ambition; "(I)n this book is an entry on any and hopefully every director who has made ... a network, cable or public TV movie or mini-series, any stand alone drama, comedy, or musical special of more than 60 minutes". A grand approach and one that starts with an impressive, extended introduction. Roberts provides six glorious pages here, which serve as an excellent primer for television movies in his charting and celebration of TV film directors. This is an excellent start to the reference work.
