Michael Wiese Productions Producer to Producer: A Step-by-Step Guide to Low-Budget Independent Film Producing

I am a producer and I also teach it for a Masters Degree in Communications. This book is excellent. It is clear, concise, it describes exactly what it takes to become a producer, the steps, the challenges and it gives perfect examples. Even my students all loved it and that says a lot ;-). Many of them however decided that becoming a producer was too complicated for them. Good. At least now they know. This book (and I) taught them the reality of a producer's life. Yes, it is complex because producers needs to know everything. The book tells the truth. Thanks for putting it all together in such a great way! I highly recommend it.

Very detailed. 👍

Bought it as a gift for a friend as a gift and she was very very happy with it.

Any good director should have a thorough understanding, or at least a good foundational knowledge of the essentials, in all film crew departments. I always felt that one of the areas I was lacking in the most was producing. Internet and amazon reviews/recommendations led me to buy Maureen A. Ryan's book on this topic. The dense information is provided very clearly and made for a highly informative and enjoyable read. I would highly recommend this to any (aspiring) producers as well as to other film crew members, those ones who always want to know more and get better. I certainly feel more confident after reading this book. Thank you!

Offers very real, very practical insider knowledge. Thanks to the author for sharing her unique and priceless advice and experience.
