"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 Wiese is a fabulous publisher. In 2003 he published my book, “First Time Director – How to Make Your Breakthrough Movie.” He was everything I would hope for in a publisher. Writing a book is a daunting task and Michael gave me much needed support every step of the way. He encouraged me and gave direction to my thinking, whenever it was needed. He told me what to cut out and what to compress. He helped me shape my ideas into a product that he could sell. When the book was done, he did a brilliant job of putting it out and promoting it. He provided me with a proof-reader who was a joy to work with, and who successfully eliminated every typo, misspelling and grammatical error from the manuscript. The cover art and design of the text and illustrations was classy and eye-pleasing. And Michael and his very savvy partner, Ken Lee, knew just how to market the book to its target audience. In addition, Michael has been unfailingly honest and fair in all of our business dealings. I have recommended him as a publisher to all of my colleagues in academia and the film industry who want to publish a how-to book on filmmaking. One, David Worth, has recently published a book through Michael Wiese Productions, and another, Ross Brown, has a contract with Michael and is currently completing his manuscript. They both report to me that my glowing assessment of Michael as a publisher is 100% accurate and thank me repeatedly for referring them to him.” January 18, 2009
“Michael is a real pro in everything he does; efficient and with vision. Good to have in your network.”
“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.”
“Michael Wiese is a gifted media entrepreneur and industry visionary --he's also impeccably honest and diligent in executing successfully what he takes on...i look forward to having the opportunity to work with him again in the future, as we have done so successfully in the past.”
“Michael is a hard-working book publisher and filmmaker with a sense of ethics. He offers creative artists a variety of opportunities to express themselves and his company supports their work through long-range global efforts. If you have a great idea for a project dealing with film, video or new media I recommend that you send him a proposal.” April 14, 2009
“I've known Michael for more than 25 years and worked with him on various projects throughout that time span. His creativity and insight as a producer and promoter never failed to energize his support team in untold ways. His named connected with a project always brings a enthusiastic response from my staff because we know newsworthiness and originality will be the hallmarks of our campaign on his behalf.”
“Michael is a forward-thinking publisher. His company provides a great environment for authors.”
“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.”Terms of Use | Privacy Policy | Sitemap | Articles
