This book would not have been possible without the help and support of many individuals and institutions. I would like to thank Sussex University for two terms and one part-time semester of leave, and in particular the chairs of Media, Film and Music, Sue Thornham and Tim Jordan, and also the subject heads in film, Thomas Austin and Frank Krutnik. I would also like to thank the Center for Latin American and Latino Studies (CLALS) at American University (Washington DC) where a Research Fellowship in Autumn 2016 helped me with writing the final chapters of the manuscript and also Jeffrey Middents for help in organising the Fellowship. Some of the research for this book has also been conducted as part of the research project: 'Transnational relations in Spanish-American digital cinema: the cases of Spain, Mexico and Argentina' (CSO2014-52750-P), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. I thank José Cerdán Los Arcos and Miguel Fernández-Rodríguez Labayen for incorporating me into the project. Additionally, initial research for this book, in Mexico City in 2005/2006, was helped by funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.I am eternally grateful to all those who have helped in some way by answering questions, providing information, materials and/or contacts, and friendship and positive energy which have helped in the book writing process: Misha MacLaird (in particular),
