Acknowledgments

      Celia Tin-yan Ko provided excellent research assistance during the final stages of preparing the manuscript for submission. A Companion to Motion Pictures and Public Value was generously supported by a research initiation grant from the Hong Kong Baptist University, for which especially Mette is grateful. Ted would like to thank the School of Communication and Arts at The University of Queensland for funding to support the project and Madeleine Shield for completing the index. Above all else, we are indebted to all the contributors for having been so supportive all along. The global COVID-19 pandemic created countless hurdles and yet our authors remained committed to our shared project throughout. For this, we shall always be immensely grateful. Tom O’Regan, a dear friend, colleague, and scholar of great wisdom and generosity, died shortly after sending us his co-authored chapter. A Companion to Motion Pictures and Public Value is affectionately dedicated to his memory.
