I just thought you might be interested to see Gideon and Eric in this email I got. It looks cool (too bad it costs $25 to subscribe to).

Dear Alumni,
The upcoming issue of BYU Studies, volume 46, no. 2, will be a long-awaited,
double-sized issue about Mormons and film.
This blockbuster issue, edited by Gideon Burton and Randy Astle, begins with a
140-page history of Mormon involvement with cinema over the past 100 years.
Other titles include: "Mormon Cinema and the Paradoxes of Mormon Culture," by
Terryl L. Givens; "Competing Business Models in Mormon Cinema," by Eric
Samuelsen; "The Mormon as Vampire," by James D'Arc; "Active Spectatorship:
Spiritual Dimensions of Film," by Sharon Swenson; and other articles by Travis
T. Anderson, Dean Duncan, and Thomas J. Lefl er. Also, the recent PBS special,
"The Mormons" is among the films reviewed in this issue of BYU Studies.
In certain ways, Mormon cinema has come into its own in recent years; but in
other ways, Latter-day Saints have made use of film for over a century. For
anyone interested in a better night at the theatre, this issue will be just the
ticket.
To ensure receiving this special issue, one must subscribe to BYU Studies by
August 25th, which can be done either on line at
http://byustudies.byu.edu/Products/ProductsDetail/Subscriptions.aspx,
or by visiting the BYU Studies offices in 245 or 403 Clyde Building during BYU Campus
Education Week. For $25 per year, you will receive this and three other issues
during the next 12 months.
Popcorn not included.
Very truly yours,
John W. Welch
Editor in Chief of BYU Studies
