From humble beginnings in a small Midwestern town to being an integral part of the underground film scene of San Francisco in the '60s. From studying with Balinese shadow puppet masters to presenting documentary screenings for the Dalai Lama. From producing the best parody ever of Star Wars to documenting the spiritual healing powers of Ayahuasca in the Peruvian jungle. From the hustle and bustle of film production in Hollywood to running the biggest "how-to" filmmaking press in the world, Michael has lived a life accompanied by countless paradigm thinkers such as Buckminster Fuller and Salvador Dali, and he puts his heart and soul in every chapter to show you what the journey to true success, on every level of life, looks like.

Industry Reviews

"Like some of the best things in life, Onward and Upward was a joy I wasn't expecting. An autobiography of author, filmmaker, producer and entrepreneur Michael Wiese, this book craftily outlines a life well lived, weaving in wide-angle historical sketches with an intimate close ups on the movie making and distribution business. The cast is studded with luminaries like Salvador Dali, Buckminster Fuller, Shirley MacLaine, and a host of Hollywood movers-and-shakers, as well as Wiese's family and teachers. But the real star is Wiese himself, and the strange, intoxicating journey of his own spiritual path -from Bali to the jungles of the Amazon. Wiese peels back theme and story to remind us why we make films, and books, and love - and like Balinese shadow puppets, he reveals the hand of something greater in the drama of life."
