With more than thirty years of experience in the publishing and motion picture industries, Peter Miller decided to make a film about his methodology for choosing authors and projects and his personal observations about the entertainment industries for the fifteen million plus aspiring authors that exist in the U.S. and the world. It is Miller's hope that the film will help them to get published or produced faster and better. Unlike the book Author! Screenwriter! (Adams Media, ISBN #1-59337-553-0), this film features digitally recorded interviews with authors, editors, publishers, producers, film managers, filmmakers and screenwriters. Copyright 2007 Millennium Lion, Inc. The film is approximately 150 minutes long and features twenty-eight interviews digitally recorded in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City. Music by Jazz Organist Dan Fogel.

Part I - TECHNOLOGY

The film is divided into four sections. The first is Miller's overview of the industry. This segment begins with the Merlin/Arthur story, a powerful and inspirational tale about positively visualizing the future, and is followed by his introduction and belief in authors.

The Introduction is followed by an interview with Film and Television Producer Mark Wolper, President of The Wolper Organization. Mark's insightful and upbeat testimonial leads to the presentation of Miller's three-part technology. The first part addresses how he chooses authors and projects. This is complemented by an interview with best-selling author, screenwriter, film director, long-time friend and business partner of Miller's, Jay Bonansinga.

Section two of Miller's technology addresses how he chooses relationships and how he learned this process from a client and friend, Dr. Paul Dobransky, and includes an interview with him.

Section three of Miller's technology addresses the importance of an author having a future and a platform. This is supported by an interview with Lou Aronica, a highly skilled publisher, editor, novelist, nonfiction author, ally and friend.
