Writing a screenplay is not an easy task, by any means. Fortunately, there are resources available to help people who enjoy making movies and short films, including filmmaking books. These books are available in many different styles and types, allowing you to learn everything that there is to know about making movies, including film equipment, film events, production, screenwriting, and other areas of the craft. Filmmaking books were not popular until about two decades ago, and the secrets of Hollywood were exactly that: secrets. Today, people who make viral videos on sites like YouTube can now learn how to turn their hobby into a career with the help of these books.
You can find filmmaking books on just about any topic that you could imagine, and utilizing these resources is going to provide you with a much better chance of career success in filmmaking than if you didn’t have access to these materials. Filmmaking books certainly aren’t a golden ticket to success, but they are definitely a MUST for anyone who wants to learn the tricks of the trade. Becoming a filmmaker is no easy task and even those who simply ‘get discovered’ have to know a few things before they can be successful.
Take the time to read up on the craft with the variety of filmmaking books that are out there and you, too, will be more successful in your filmmaking career. Viral videos and internet sites like YouTube are creating the next generation of successful filmmakers, but when you want to take your talents beyond YouTube, you’ve got to know where to start. You can learn everything about the entertainment industry, film equipment and events, production and directing, screenwriting, and more when you pick up filmmaking books that can help you learn your craft.
Filmmaking books will give you the chance to learn everything that you might need to know. If you truly want to become a successful filmmaker, you have to combine your creativity and passion with the knowledge that it takes to become successful in such a highly competitive industry. There is no limit to what you can do with the right tools and resources, and filmmaking books are sure to give you plenty of the education that you need. Of course, taking courses can be helpful as well, but all the hints, tips, and industry secrets that you need to know can generally be found in the filmmaking books that you can buy.

“Michael is a life-changing publisher/director/producer who has great expectations and provides ongoing support and opportunity to all the people he comes in contact to and identifies as authors, friends, and/or filmmakers. He is an extraordinary human being who is always humming with ideas and sharing them with people in ways that enrich their lives and send them off in unexpected directions. Working with Michael and his right-hand man editor Ken Lee has been one of the best professional relationships that I've experienced. If you have a chance to take one of his seminars or be part of his circle in any way, drop everything and do it.” September 6, 2009
“Michael is an astute publisher who knows how, with his colleague Ken Lee, to take care of a writer and promote his work in innovative ways. Working with him has been a very pleasant learning experience. I highly recommend him in any of his endeavors.”
“Michael is an inspiring speaker whose engaging style prompts new collaborations and enthusiasm. He works with a diverse range of excellent speakers and experts to provide great tailor-made training solutions. He is a pleasure to work with.” January 11, 2009
“Michael is a top quality film and video professional, equally expert in tapping new trends in the fast evolving marketplace and in connecting effectively with the consumer. I value his skills as a producer and a collaborator and look forward to working with him again.”
"I've read many of Michael Wiese's line of books, and I haven't found a clinker among 'em. The writers are people in the trenches, people who've been there and done that. Further, they've come out the other side wiser, braver, and willing to share their insights. Since the bewildering field of film slides between craft and art, a new or experienced filmmaker needs some maps. Michael Wiese's books are road signs."
“I was an avid consumer of Michael's books on the media business; so, it was a great pleasure, and honor to work with him on the PBS Home Video label at Pacific Arts. As an industry expert and former acquisitions executive at a respected home entertainment company, Michael provided great insight for identifying marketable product, and negotiating the licenses for distribution. Titles such as "The Astronomers," "Eyes on the Prize" and "Masterpiece Theatre" were tentpole releases in the early days of PBS Home Video. His efforts were key to establishing the success the label enjoys today. I am happy (and not at all surprised) to see he has achieved much success in his multi-faceted career.”
“Michael is that rare media professional who is driven by a vision bigger than himself; an artist and businessman who is willing to take risks to create something fresh and meaningful or support those who are; someone who cares not just about the project but the people involved and the people who will be touched by the work. It has been my honor and pleasure to work with him and I can't recommend him enough!”
"The first step in the difficult journey of filmmaking and screenwriting is knowledge of the craft and industry. The books from Michael Wiese Productions will start you in the right direction and serve as reliable reference points on your path to success."
“Michael creates the best film making books in the industry, from creating a film concept to getting it sold, and all of the execution steps of working with actors, location, filming, and post production. The books are professional yet can also be used by aspiring film makers. Michael and his team including Ken Lee are well known in the film and publishing industry.”
