Michael Wiese Productions (MWP) has published some 200 books on the art, craft, and business of filmmaking. MWP bestsellers have been translated into 18 languages, are used in over 700 film courses, in the Hollywood studios, and by emerging filmmakers.

Michael says, “When you make a film or write a script, there is an implicit agreement between the filmmaker/writer and the audience. The audience says, ‘I’ll give you some money and a few hours of my time. In return you’ll show me something I’ve never seen before.’ Our books fulfill a similar pact with our readers who say, ‘Teach me something I didn’t know that will make me a better, more successful writer or filmmaker.’ We do this by demystifying the sometimes secretive worlds of screenwriting, directing, acting, producing, film financing, and other media crafts.”
