Mike the Pike Productions was formed in 2009 by CEO/President, Mark B. Newbauer, with a focus on Feature Film Development and Production as well as Concert and Event Promotions.

Mike the Pike Productions has offices in Fort Wayne, IN and Los Angeles, CA with entertainment and finance contacts worldwide. The team chooses its endeavors carefully and, as a publicly traded independent studio, can best be defined as an Entertainment entity that creates, develops, finances, and produces programming, without the initial involvement of a major motion picture studio or mega promoter, utilizing industry contacts, private investors, gap financing and pre-sales to put concept to screen and stage for audiences around the world.

Projects are initiated by MTP only when our commercial prospects are reasonably assured and the investment risk overall is minimized. Partners take hands-on responsibility for personally evaluating content, budgets, historical data, current trends, branding, talent, crews and venues quickly while minimizing overhead and bureaucracy. Further, we always strive to stimulate economic development wherever we produce.

Overall, our projects are ‘Mainstream Independent’, combining the well-structured ventures with visionary talent challenging current standards while maintaining mass appeal. We believe our strategy will be entertaining, profitable and compelling.

Last but not least, Mike the Pike Productions aims to set an example in a highly profitable industry in committing to donate a percentage of producer profits on our films to foundations and organizations we believe to be progressive and beneficial to our global community.
