"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."
“Michael is a wealth of knowledge, insight and inspiration. I have worked with him as a publisher (of my books) as a director (I was consultant and co-producer) as writer (he has written novels, screenplays and some amazing books on filmmaking) and as a student (when I was teaching). No matter Michael's role, or mine, Michael has always led me to a greater understanding of the filmmaking process. His insights are amazing, his knowledge is deep and valuable and his passion and persistence always inspire the rest of us to overcome the constant flow of obstacles. I highly recommend Michael as a participant and ally in any project.”
“The field of books about the entertainment industry has become cluttered with publishers who dabble in the area without a specific focus on it. Michael Wiese is one of the best publishers in this field because he specializes in this area and consistently selects authors that have an actual mastery of their subject and can communicate their knowledge effectively. I am proud to be associated with Michael Wiese.”
“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.”
“When I wrote my book about freelance writing for Michael's publishing shingle, he was always supportive, encouraging, and forthcoming. He is also an effective regular communicator and takes a personal interest in all of the projects that come to his company. Furthermore, Michael is an accomplished filmmaker - his HARDWARE WARS was a cult classic!!!”
“Michael is a smart, author-friendly publisher, expert in the field of filmmaking, who always looks for creative ways to put the leading titles on the market, and to promote those titles into a leading position in the market.”
“Michael and I were in many team meetings that planned the overall "on-air" marketing strategy and program planning "glue" that is interstitial programming (tune-ins, animation, bumpers, promos, shorts, interviews, etc.). I worked closely with Michael, as program research director, in helping determine what the goals and success metrics of that programming were from consumer perspective. I remember specifically Michael's ability to accommodate the needs of so many different departments within Showtime leveraging the interstitial programming as an asset. I learned a lot from him, as well. His creative, executional and managerial insight were impressive and I recall in what high regard he was held.”
This is a great post. If you want to enter the film making industry, it is important that you have the right resources and a good teacher. In this way, you will learn the basics and you will learn quick.
Film making books by Michael Wiese are among the best on the topic. They are clear, thought-provoking and innovative. Every beginner screenwriter should have Michael’s books in his collection.
There are many filmmaking books which are full of impractical information. Michael Wiese’s books, on the contrary, contain invaluable advice for filmmakers and screenwriters, which can be used in their professional development. I personally recommend his books to anyone who works in the film industry.
