Mike the Pike Secures Acclaimed Producer
News - press releases
Tuesday, 23 February 2010 23:10

MTP Introduces Ryan Colucci to the Pack; Hungry Like the Wolf for a Lycan Serial Killer


LOS ANGELES, CA-- (February 23, 2010) - (PINKSHEETS: MIKP) -- Mike The Pike Productions, Inc. and Oscar Award contender Ryan Colucci, have entered into a partnership agreement securing Colucci as a Co-Producer on the screen adaptation of George R.R. Martin's "The Skin Trade." The werewolf novella, recently optioned by Mike the Pike Productions, is described by Newbauer and Colucci as "'Silence of the Lambs' meets 'The Howling,' that said, the story itself is something one could only expect from the mind of world-renown, award-winning fantasy author, George R.R. Martin."

"We couldn't be happier to have signed Ryan to the team for 'Skin Trade,'"says Mark B. Newbauer, CEO/President of Mike the Pike Productions. "This is quite a coup for MTP and its shareholders as Ryan is more than a producer by title; He's an accomplished producer with solid industry deals and contacts in every aspect of the industry. This includes studios to talent to distribution, many of which are household names like Warner Brothers and Lionsgate."

Colucci, after graduating from USC's prestigious Peter Stark Producing MFA Program in 2004, joined Snoot Entertainment as Producer on the CG-animated feature "Battle for Terra, "which was released on May 1, 2009 from Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, in both 2D and 3D. The film positioned Colucci as one of the youngest producers to contend for an Oscar Nomination in his category as it was included in a handful of films contending for Oscar Nominations for Animated Feature in this year's upcoming ceremony.

In 2007, Ryan Colucci, along with acclaimed director Mike Newell ("Prince of Persia: Sands of Time," "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"), teamed up with Warner Brothers Pictures to produce Terry Brooks' "Shannara" fantasy series (twelve books in total). "We feel this accomplishment to be akin to one possible outcome for 'The Skin Trade,' which will be packaged by Mike the Pike Productions in collaboration with Colucci for a dual strategy toward shareholders' best interest execution including studio acquisition and independent financing/production," continues Newbauer.

On the topic of his track record with Werewolves: Colucci, founder of Spoke Lane Entertainment, a feature film and publishing company, is currently in production on the graphic novel "Harbor Moon," a story about a soldier trapped in a town at the center of a battle between werewolves and their hunters, and a dark secret which leaves him with questions as to which side to fight for. The graphic novel is published by Arcana Studio. In the summer of 2008, Ryan sold his script "Lobo" to Stone Village Pictures, with John Stockwell ("Blue Crush," "Turistas") attached to direct. According to Variety Magazine, "Lobo," about a colony of werewolves deep in the jungles of Brazil, will become a potential werewolf trilogy. On the decision to bring Colucci on as a Producer, Newbauer comments, "It was a no-brainer from the get-go. I contacted Ryan initially because I knew he had experience bringing graphic novels to life; around the same time we picked up 'The Skin Trade,' Avatar Press picked up the graphic novel rights. I figured with Ryan's background, he may help us as a consultant to work with Avatar in merging our companies' visions of Martin's work. Instead, I receive an email back from an avid George R.R. Martin fan in Colucci, who also proclaimed that 'Skin Trade' is one of his favorite stories and that he was duly impressed with our acquisition. After discussing and verifying his abilities in bringing powerful elements to the table in terms of CGI/FX, Studio involvement, attaching name talent (screenwriters, director & cast), in addition to our own resources, both parties decided rather quickly to take this project on together full force."

Colucci adds, "Just like I am with the 'Shannara' series, which I'm co-producing with Warner Brothers, I have been a devoted Martin fan my whole life and it is exciting to be a part of bringing one of his books to the screen. Mark and his company, Mike the Pike Productions, have done an amazing job securing the rights and it was important for me to hear that they did not want to spit out a movie for the sake of turning a profit, but actually make a great film, first and foremost, with profits we can all be proud of on many levels at the end of the day. I am confident that with my producing background steeped heavily in visual effects together with Mike the Pike, we can make a gripping film that George R.R. Martin enthusiasts are excited about, while doing his vision for the world of lycanthropes justice."

Newbauer agrees: "Ryan's vision is very much in line with ours on this project with a personality conducive to a partnership that I feel will turn a profitable project with mass appeal. We both see eye to eye on just about every aspect of the story in terms of adapting it to the screen with an original creative vision while maintaining a sense of loyalty for the rich universe of dark, compelling character, tone and lore created in Martin's much praised novella."

Colucci says what drew him specifically to "The Skin Trade," "Is that it is a thrilling Raymond Chandler-esque detective story at heart, but it just happens to involve werewolves. I'm fascinated with the concept that these creatures of myth can exist in our society right under our noses. And master craftsman George R.R. Martin keeps the audience on the edge of their seats with the twists and turns of the case." Newbauer and Ryan both feel 'The Skin Trade' will be a thriving project with franchise/sequel appeal and possibly even a TV series/spinoff.

"THE SKIN TRADE": From the best -selling author of the "Song of Ice and Fire" series comes this chilling story of a werewolf out for more than blood: When a string of grotesque killings begins to strike her small town, private detective Randi Wade becomes suspicious. The grisly murders remind her all too much of her own father's death over 20 years ago. Now there is a killer in town who not only slays his victims, but also takes their skin. Undaunted, Randi prods the police as the murders continue, each more brutal than the last. When a close friend suddenly becomes a target, he is forced to reveal a startling secret about himself and Randi is quickly pulled into a dark world within her own town where monsters exist and prey on the living.

For Academics and Libraries "Single" Discussion Guide Now Available to Complement ...
News - press releases
Saturday, 20 February 2010 23:10
February 18, 2010 (MMD Newswire) -- In response to requests from an increasing number of academic institutions and public libraries that have added the feature documentary "Single" to their social science DVD collections, the film's producers have release a structured discussion guide for the film when it is used to complement a course curriculum.

As engaging storytelling can make important social topics more relevant and meaningful, movies can give students more insight and understanding than lectures or textbooks alone.

"Single" is a perfect addition to a sociology syllabus on family, marriage or gender issues," says Christine Whelan Ph.D. (Princeton, Oxford), a visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh, and one of the featured experts in "Single". "Blending up-to-date research with real-life challenges for young adults, "Single" can be shown as an introduction to, or wrap-up of, discussions about the increasing number of unmarried Americans, societal pressure to pair up , delayed marriage, divorce or the rise of unwed childbirths". Whelan adds that the organization of the film itself offers added flexibility for its classroom use. "The DVD is broken down into chapters, making it easy for instructors to incorporate sections into a class of any length."

The discussion guide for "Single" delivers thought-provoking questions organized around the topics covered in the film. It also offers additional suggestions for learning activities beyond the classroom discussion. The discussion guide can be freely downloaded from the film's website: www.singlefilm.com.

"Single" is a unique and critically-acclaimed film that brings together a diverse cast of social experts, comedians, singer/songwriters and "real" people who tell a fascinating and often humorous story about the growth of the single population in the USA and the trends and influences behind this powerful shift.

Academic and expert members of the cast include:

Stephanie Coontz
Professor, Evergreen State College, WA.
Director of Research and Public Education for The Council on Contemporary Families.
Author of "Marriage, a History", "The Way We Never Were", "The Way We Really Are', "The Social Origins of Private Life" and "American Families - A Multi-Cultural Reader".

The World Premiere Of DreamKiller At Arclight Hollywood Goes Off With A Bang
News - press releases
Saturday, 20 February 2010 23:10
February 19, 2010 (MMD Newswire) -- The red carpet was bustling Wednesday night with appearances by Dario Deak, Diandra Newlin and director Catherine Pirotta to support the new psychological thriller with a plot derived from actual experiments ran by Nazis during the Holocaust. Dick Dinman with DVD Classics Corner claims it has, "...a new kind of suspense and a new kind of star".

Starring Dario Deak with co-stars John Colton, Penny Drake, Kelly Chambers and guest appearances by Tyrone Power Jr. and John Savage with Stephane Mermet and Hollywood fixture Clyde Ware (also co-writer) as executive producers.

The plot takes the viewer on an intriguing journey as two doctors embark on a research project to cure fear-ridden, phobic patients of all varieties. Just as fame and honor creep into the lives of Doctor Marvin Stalberg (John Colton) and Doctor Nicholas Nemet (Dario Deak), a series of murders occurs among cured patients which mirror the victims' initial homicidal fears. The path to finding the actual culprit of the murders sparks other startling discoveries that not only stun the characters, but viewers as well.

The film is a reminder of common fears that are rarely discussed, yet constantly inhibit humans' daily lives, especially in the cynical, weary economic society we find ourselves in now. "I hope this reminds people that it is in our selves to overcome fear." - Dario Deak

"Tragedy lies in the denial and oblivion of fear's commanding effect. Yet if we don't control our fears, they will control us. How often do we suffer from fear of poverty, criticism or even love - especially in these murky economic times? It is these that are far more paralyzing to us than any spider or snake." -- Catherine Pirotta

Dreamkiller opens February 19th at select theaters in Los Angeles and other major cities.

Mike The Pike New Media Serves Nation of Shareholders With Prepaid Profits Strategies
News - press releases
Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:10
LOS ANGELES, CA -- February 10, 2010 - (PINKSHEETS: MIKP) -- Mike The Pike Productions, Inc. CEO, Mark B. Newbauer, and MTP New Media President, Timothy Bredemeyer will be attending PrePaid Expo USA 2010, February 22nd-24th at the RIO Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada as part of MTP's agenda to streamline processes and profits for ServeNation (ServeNation.com). MTP New Media's recent acquisition is socially conscious business model servicing charities and charitably minded consumers alike with simple fundraising solutions based in retail gift card sales. It is in line with MTP partners' core values and long-term initiatives to continue growing a multi-faceted Entertainment and Media Conglomerate multiple brands held by the MTP banner. The company utilizes strategies to create progressive mechanisms for socially conscious profitability.

MTP Prods has entered agreements with a nationally chartered financial institution with assets exceeding $300 million to provide the new ServeNation with its flagship fundraising device: a prepaid, loadable general use debit card accepted at millions of locations worldwide. The new ServeNation model allows MTP to participate in the $3 trillion and growing prepaid debit card market.

In addition, MTP's prospective partner is home to a division providing premier electronic banking services throughout the United States for a variety of product line services. It continues to lead the industry in electronic banking; Newbauer and Bredemeyer, on behalf of MTP's ServeNation (and another online business formation utilizing similar elements), has been invited to meet with the institution's Director of Business Development and its Vice President while attending the 2010 expo in Vegas for ServeNation to solidify the relationship.

The 2010 Prepaid Expo USA is the Prepaid Card industry's primary meeting place, bringing together professionals from leading retailers, collateral providers, processors, financial institutions and marketers in the prepaid marketplace with speakers from Visa Global, MasterCard and former President Bill Clinton, among others. Newbauer and Bredemeyer plan to secure key industry connections that will solidify a competitive position for all that is ServeNation including a source of collateral providers for a ServeNation credit card.

All facets of ServeNation involve a portion of loading, transaction and other card-related fees being forwarded to the charity of each consumer's choice making it an "excellent tool for fundraising with little to no effort required by the charitable entities on the receiving end so that their energies and resources can remain where they are most needed," states Newbauer. "There's much more in place for SN than we will be releasing at this point for the sake of retaining competitive advantages overall; however, I can say this: If you consider CopSwap, Horse, the feature film slate and SN, among others, and pretend for a moment that MTP Prods was a movie; consider everything you've seen up until now a sneak preview and make sure you get a really good seat."
