intro
I
t is great to be publishing a new book by Jon McNaught. Kingdom is a special book which has been a long time in the making, and Jon is back to his hauntingly beautiful storytelling best with this captivating new story. Through A Life is the silent debut graphic novel from Tom Haugomat. Like the book’s protagonist, you will watch a life’s joys and tragedies through the frames of the world around you. The second book in Alexander Utkin’s Gamayun Tales series, based on Slavic folk tales, is a joy to hold and a thrill to read. And finally Adam Boardman’s debut is a sweeping illustrated guide to the technical brilliance of filmmaking, from the very first nickelodeon to today’s CGI blockbusters. Each of these books is the culmination of years of work. We are so proud to publish them, and we hope you enjoy them and can feel the love and dedication of the people who created them.

Dreamy Direction The American director, musician and actor David Lynch had a burst of productivity in the 1990s, with films such as Wild at Heart (1990) and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992). Lynch takes inspiration from dream logic, and with every project his works seems to become increasingly peculiar. Film critics often extract their own meaning from his films, painting them as subversions of popular culture or as surrealist art.
DAVID LYNCH
Lynch prefers informal and conversational auditions.
It's better not to know so much about what things mean.
