These People Want to Make You a Superstar

My favorite professional event is the MWP Publishing Summit, during which many of our authors come from all over the world to discuss how to raise the consciousness and expand the skills of filmmakers everywhere. It is a privilege to be in a roomful of filmmaking's greatest teachers -- now you can, too. Through this catalog, you have access to the minds of the masters! These generous men and women are willing to share what they know to make your life easier in creating, making, and distributing your films. Their books are found in Hollywood's major studios, in over 800 university film courses, and on the shelves of emerging, student, and advanced filmmakers worldwide.

PRODUCER TO PRODUCER -- 2ND EDITION A Step-by-Step Guide to Low-Budget Independent Film Producing Maureen A. Ryan

Five books in one! Covering development, script breakdown, budgeting, preproduction, postproduction, sales and distribution, and much more, Producer to Producer gives you all the information you need in an easy-to-understand, chronological fashion.

"I will give this book to couples I know who can learn from it and be inspired by it. The author's words remind me what romantic stories are all about." --Pam Wallace, cowriter of Academy Award?winning screenplay Witness

ROMANTIC COMEDIES These Films Can Save Your Love Life! Pamela Jaye Smith

Unlike film guides that list films alphabetically, give production facts, and offer rather dry descriptions, this book is designed to help people better understand themselves, their loved ones, and their romantic situations ... or lack thereof. Scientific studies show that couples who watch romantic movies together and then discuss them have a much higher "stay-together rate" than couples who enter traditional therapy. Pamela Jaye Smith is a mythologist, author, consultant, speaker, and award-winning writer?producer?director with over 30 years in the media industry in Hollywood and around the world. She helps storytellers of all types and in all genres enhance their projects with mythic themes, archetypes, and symbols.
