Thirty-five years ago I wrote the first few books that launched MWP. This year, after more than a decade of “radio silence,” I wrote a new book, Onward&Upward, that shares my evolution. Now I appreciate even more our esteemed authors, who have gone to great lengths to dig deep and share what they believe is critical information for your success in writing and making your great films.
The mission of MWP books has always been to kick open the doors to movie-making and bring you what was once held as “industry secrets” whether they be in screenplay structure, camera moves, editing, or financing techniques. We have succeeded because our readers have succeeded and have come back to us for more.
As a result, we have some 2 million books in print worldwide. Over 800 film courses use our books. Some books appear in over a dozen languages. Thank you for letting us contribute to your creative efforts.
Onward,
Michael Wiese Publisher/Filmmaker

ONWARD & UPWARDReflections of a Joyful Life Michael Wiese
“Michael Wiese is a modern shaman whose lifelong quest has been to discover what is possible in the physical, intellectual, and spiritual worlds. But who could have imagined that he would become the publisher of more books on film in English than anyone else in the world? While other shamans may meditate and gaze inward for revelation, Wiese follows The GOYA Principle (Get Off Your Ass…) and he does. From Bali to the jungles of Peru and New York, Wiese’s search for an ethical existence filled with meaning has constantly pushed him on. Reading Onward&Upward is a joyous, often humorous, and moving experience.”
—HowardSuber,professor,UCLAfilmschool;author,The Power of Film
“The memoir of a rare and wonderful man, who has lived a truly extraordinary life.”
—JohnRobbins,author,Diet for a New America
Michael Wiese is a publisher and filmmaker who is currently making “Sacred Journey” films. With his wife Geraldine Overton he launched Divine Arts, a new book imprint.

Griffith. Like Dr. Johnson’s DictionaryoftheEnglishLanguage, Christopher Kenworthy’s MasterShots series seeks to make tangible and permanent what otherwise might be gone with the wind.”

“ Ace director John Badham’s handbook, JohnBadhamonDirecting, is a mercifully non-academic, extremely practical, and very entertaining look at the task of making pictures, covering just about every aspect of the director’s job. It is not in the least didactic, and includes a multitude of quotes from other filmmakers that are also most illuminating. The book is quite charming as well, and should become a standard text..”
