LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Mike The Pike Productions Official Website) 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. (https://www.bloodritesmovie.com).
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 (https://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 (https://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'.
