Michael Wiese 
Onward and Upward 
Reflections of a Joyful Life

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 Dalí, 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.
