Through A Screen Darkly[]

Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky has said of the book that it is "Inspirational.... Sometimes all of us forget that love for movies, that internal spark inside us that movies lit, and your book is going to remind many of us about it."[6]
The book is used as a textbook at Seattle Pacific University, Fuller Seminary, Bryan College, and other schools.
