Today's ""Bigg News Players!


Mike the Pike Productions, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MIKP) announces today it will be attending American Film Market in Early November to showcase sci-fi thriller, White Space, starring Holt McCallany and its Werewolf Chiller, ‘The Skin Trade’ based on the novella by Game of Thrones creator, George R.R. Martin.

The AFM is the premier global marketplace where Hollywood's decision-makers and trendsetters all gather under one roof. Unlike a film festival, the AFM is a marketplace where production and distribution deals are closed. In just eight days, more than $800 million in deals will be sealed – on both completed films and those in every stage of development and production.

MTP CEO, Mark B. Newbauer, will attend the event with materials from both projects, meeting with top executives in discussions toward a successful sales deal on ‘White Space’ and key partnerships for ‘GRRM’s The Skin Trade’.

The team is in initial stages of post-production on White Space, and all are confident that meetings at this point will allow the team to secure interest early in the game, maximizing full potential on sales toward multi-million dollar returns.

MIKP execs are confident that progress made through Q4 this year will lead to exponential growth in 2012. Newbauer states, “Baby steps have us at a point where every move we make is an integral benchmark. Each leading to a higher level of industry position, brand and profitability alongside powerful market growth for our shareholders.”



Mark B. Newbauer graduated from the renowned film and producer’s track at Columbia College, Chicago in 1997, just a year before writing and producing Dreamkiller, the New York International Film Festival’s ‘Best of the Fest’ winner about Sirhan Sirhan and events leading to the tragic RFK assassination. His executive background includes his work as a wealth manager at a top-tier global wealth management firm where he attained his Series 7 & 66 licenses and helped structure creative solutions for C-level executives and entrepreneurs.

Newbauer formed Mike The Pike Films in 2002 to package and produce projects with high production value, taking advantage of on-location resources, in-kind gifts and tax incentives to allow for maximum production value. His roots in the entertainment industry began as a key player in launching an online casting company connecting him with some of today’s most prominent studio executives, casting directors and talent representatives. His skills were then sharpened as a Junior Agent at a talent and literary agency with offices in Los Angeles and NYC. His experience ranges from work both in front of and behind the camera and he is also a graduate of the prestigious Second City and Comedy Sportz training programs.

In 2009, putting his passion to work, Mark combined Mike The Pike Films with new Intellectual Property and launched Mike The Pike Productions as a full-spectrum entertainment firm with Feature Film Development & Production, Literary Acquisitions, Concert & Event Promotions and Graphic Novel Publishing via Spokefish, a partnership between Mike the Pike Productions and Spoke Lane Entertainment.

According to Screen Digest, 3,000 films are produced annually. Box office ticket revenues were $26.8 billion in 2008, with overall revenues amounting to $180 billion. Strategy Analytics recently published a report saying that for the first time, digital revenues from media and entertainment exceeded revenues from movie theaters and home video. The Numbers reports Total 2010 Box Office Gross to be $10,455,039,729 with 1,331,852,189 tickets sold.

Likewise, comic books and graphic novels are becoming two of the most pervasive and influential media forms of popular culture. Placed within the context of changing society, comic books and graphic novels entertain and educate, but they have also been instrumental in documenting and interpreting social, historical, and current events. As Diamond Bookshelf states, the success of such films as Spiderman & X-Men has led to movie studios seeking out other material. Films such as 300, V For Vendetta, and Watchmen, all based on original comics & graphic novel series, have favorably increased the general public's awareness and opinion of comic books. Others have seen their graphic novels turned into critically acclaimed motion pictures. As current media interest continues to focus on comic books and related series, the popularity of the graphic novel will continue to grow.

Mike the Pike Productions, Inc. looks to excel in an industry which provides inspiration, entertainment, awareness and multiple streams of revenue. It is a publicly traded company with feature film, graphic novels and concerts/events divisions.
