I'm very pleased to announce the release of _Too Bold for the Box Office: The Mockumentary, From Big Screen to Small_ (Scarecrow Press). The volume's thirteen collected essays, contributed by a roster of international scholars and filmmakers such as Kevin Brownlow (IT HAPPENED HERE) and Kevin Willmott (CSA: CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA), explore mockumentaries frequently overlooked in discussions of the genre, including Cheryl Dunye's WATERMELON WOMAN, Doris Dorre's ENLIGHTENMENT GUARANTEED, Norman Mailer's MAIDSTONE, and John Blanchard's THE SCHMENGES: THE LAST POLKA.  

A prologue by BBC and Thames TV veteran Jerome Kuehl discusses the industry's long history of image "fakes," while an epilogue by mockumentarian Spencer Schaffner examines the role of new media in the ongoing creation of the mockumentary.

Additional information may be found on the volume's webpage: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780810885189.  Available on Amazon and directly through Scarecrow Press.
