By always testing the limits, a young Michael had a yearning to understand "the secret of life" and began to "see things worth seeing." During the turbulent '60's in San Francisco he makes his first films exploring his inner world. Later, under the pressure to support a family, he moves to New York and lands "real jobs" in the entertainment industry. But while climbing the corporate ladder, he loses his footing on the spiritual path. With guidance from his mentors, friends, and wife, he regains his sense of purpose, which brings him today into the most productive and satisfying period of his life. This book is a record of that journey and of those things that are important to creating a contented life.    

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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."
