Business Wire
Mike The Pike Productions (OTC: MIKP) is an entertainment
company with a focus in feature films, graphic novels and media
holdings, including Saint James Films (SJF). Today, Saint James
Films proudly announces that it has acquired Unfiltered
Entertainment’s (UE) feature film, ‘Blood Rites’, where Grindhouse
meets the macabre. (http://www.bloodritesmovie.com).
“This is the first of several acquisitions we plan for the
company in win-win agreements with third party producers,” states
SJF Chairman, Mark B. Newbauer, who also serves as CEO for Mike The
Pike Productions. “With much thanks to an introduction by Stacey
Parks (http://www.filmspecific.com), I feel we’ve struck gold for
the business model here, all the while offering a competitive
financial advantage for genre producers like SJF and Unfiltered all
the while."
Blood Rites is a bloody mystery in which a drug deal in an
abandoned warehouse goes bad; very bad. Leaving the building is not
an option. All the exits have been blocked. And somewhere in the
darkness is something with a taste for blood and a love of pain.
The dealers are being stalked by something worse. For a great demon
demands to be born from the fiery depths of hell and its faithful
servant has planned a bizarre blood rite that will leave no vein
untapped.
Director, Dorothy Booraem (Wake The Witch), proudly describes
the film as “bizarre and grotesque; a wicked blend of crime
fiction, mystery, the fantastic, horror and eroticism,” inspired by
the works of Horror masters, Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento.
“This deal is a game-changer for us thanks to help from SJF
COO/President, Ted Chalmers, a sales distribution veteran who also
serves as CEO for TomCat Films, LLC
(http://www.tomcatfilmsllc.com),” states Newbauer. “Ted structured
a deal in which SJF is now able to acquire and license rights to
movies/content toward increased revenues and additional film
library assets, all the while offering talented filmmakers a
competitive producer-friendly distribution agreement to ensure
exhibition opportunities worldwide. This exponentially increases
revenue potential for Saint James Films and its parent company for
continued added-value and long-term growth for MIKP and its
shareholders.“
The film’s writer, producer and D.P. Chad Haufschild, adds,
“When we formed Unfiltered Entertainment back in 08, part of our
mission was to make movies that we would want to see. We’re all
genre fans. Horror, action, crime, mystery, fantasy... That’s the
stuff we pay to watch so that’s the stuff we were going to make.
Saint James Films seems the perfect fit for Blood Rites and UE.
Their business philosophy is so similar to our own, and I see
greater opportunities with them in the near future. They understand
genre content better than anyone I’ve spoken with to date. They’re
looking ahead and so is UE.”
Saint James Films will have several properties available for
buyers worldwide at this year’s AFM in Santa Monica
(http://www.americanfilmmarket.com), including Blood Rites, Lizzie
Borden’s Revenge, Captian Battle: Legacy War and more! AFM expects
to host over 1500 buyers from 70+ countries with billions of
dollars in buying power.
Mike The Pike Productions will also be working with a handful of
premiere properties on its production slate at AFM including
effects-driven sci-fi thriller, ‘White Space’ (currently in
post-production) and werewolf mystery-thriller “George R.R.
Martin’s The Skin Trade”, based on the award winning novella by the
author behind HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’.
