Michael D. Duke, the Chairman and Senior Director, and M.L. Pearce, conceptualized Open Mike Entertainment in the winter of 2001. Michael Duke has been a life long cinema buff, and it has been his dream to write, produce and direct a horror movie in the classical style of Halloween by John Carpenter.

I was born on Feb. seventeenth ninteen hundred and seventy-six. I remember my mother and I living with my grandparents for a couple of years and then on our own. My mother and father divorced when I was the age of two but to be honest I have no memory of him. My only father figures I had growing up were my grandfather and my uncle Danny. At the age of four my mother and I moved in with my great grandparents. We lived with them for about a year and we finally moved out on our own. I grew up in Garland, Texas and went to school there from elementary threw two and half years of high school. At the age of eighteen I got into a little trouble and my mother thought it would be best if we moved in with my grandparents to get me away from the elements of the city. We moved to a small town called Mabank, Texas were I spent the rest of my high school term. I finally graduated from high school on May twenty fourth ninteen thousand and ninty five. After graduation I moved around a lot from Garland to Athens to Tyler back to Garland. On my twenty first birthday I joined the military and was shipped off to boot camp. I only spent six months in the armed services due to an injury and sent home. From that point on I did odd jobs until I started waiting tables at Denny's. This is where I met the guy who would becoe my best friend and buisness partner Big Mike. The moment we met we knew we were destend to create a company that would turn heads. I have three kids, two boys and a little girl who are my whole life and the center of my creativity. By watching them I feel like a kid again and it just brings the creativty to its brink. Without them and my friends I dont think I would be the man I am today.

M.L. Pearce, the Assistant Director and Production Coordinator, whose cinema knowledge runs the gamut of the science fiction/fantasy genre, contributed to Mr. Duke's dream of writing and producing a movie. It can be said with certainty, that Mr. Pearce is the Heart of OME.

I was born in Little Rock, Arkansasin the year of our lord ninteen thousand and seventy-five. I moved around for the next nineteen years until I moved to Dallas, Texas. After living here for six years I met my hedro-lifemate Lil' Mike at the Denny's that became our meeting place for everone we have met for the last seven years. After meeting Lil' Mike I knew my dreams of makeing movies were the same as his and we created our baby Open Mike Entertainment. Growing up as a child I had and have a great father who has an awsome sence of humor. From him I get my love for comedy and my funny disposition. In high school I devoleped a love for movies and the theater and from that I joined the theaters arts program produced many plays.

Greg Sensabaugh, the Production Designer, utilizes his MacGyver-like talents of creating a set with a toothpick and a rubber band. His insight into creative filming adds multifaceted depth to the company. Without him, it would be like Laurel without Hardy.

I was born in Dallas on Jan. ninth in the year of ninteen thousand and eighty-eight. I lived here in the Dallas area until the age of eight then moved to Ballinger, Texas where I spent the rest of my childhood. While living in Ballinger I learned things like welding and wood working that increased my creativity. This also helped me in the ability of creating sets which I did for the drama department at my high school. At the age of seventeen I moved back to Dallas were I met two guys that knew my father, Big MIke and Lil' Mike. Soon after meeting them they asked me if I would like to join them in there venture in the film company that they started. Being the film buff that I am I took them up on thier offer and became the third and youngest member of Open Mike Entertainment.

Glen Allen, The Graphics/Audio Editor and webmaster of OME Films.

I was born in Dallas, Texas November 29, 1981. Discovered a talent for art and music at an early age. I play violin, Bass, Guitar, Piano, and remaster audio tracks. I draw, paint, and work with digital 2D & 3D graphics and video. I met The OME crew at Denny's and could not resist lending a hand. These guys are great inspiring people to work with and they have brought out some of my best creative works so far.

Dan Lewis, the Promotions Producer and Director of Operations, is responsible for the coordination and planning of the company's goals; creating cohesiveness for the Brohanan, and putting OME into the limelight of the public. He also provides comedic relief with his inability to jump on one leg…

John M. Tetak, I was born in 1976, the year of the dragon, in Northern Califonia. I developed my love for movies at a very early age, going to the drive-in with my parents. When I turned 12, I moved to Texas and I really became more and more interested in movies. During school I took theatre because I thought I wanted to be in front of the camera, but I learned that I would rather be involved in the whole process. I met Big Mike a few months before I turned 19 and we have been friends ever since. I have met the rest of the OME Crew through him. I have been a DJ in a club for the past 8 years. That is the reason that I have been dubbed "The Voice". I have joined "The Crew" because I believe in what we are trying to accomplish.

OME, while a film production company, is so much more. It is a dream to create ideas, stories and art, and put them to film. It is about four guys who enjoy independent films, well-made commercial films, DERS, and everyday life through the eye of a camera. While we are in the process of producing our first film, even if not one red cent is made, we will be content that we breathed life into a dream.

For us, OME is not just a company, it is a philosophy; reach for the stars, and if you touch one, rejoice not in that fact, rather , rejoice in that you attempted the unthinkable, and crossed that chasm of fear of failure.
