Good news for HHSE shareholders: E-TRADE to remove "choke" on HHSE buying

Greetings HHSE Friends - E-Trade Compliance gave HHSE specific instructions on how to quickly remove the current "choke" they have placed on HHSE on-line buying (and on-line buying of many other OTC Pinksheets issuers).  

At present, E-Trade customers have to CALL IN to place an order for HHSE... and this has been a deterrent to many traders buying the stock.  Of course, the "short" naysayers have LOVED this policy... but their good times are ending in favor of a PPS rocket launch to benefit our legitimate investors.  

Accordingly, in the next few days, the steps that HHSE was instructed to implement will result in compliance with E-Trade OTC rules... and many feel that this will JUMP our base stock level back into the $.02 / share range.  This will be a better foundation for our major launch with corporate activities and outreach.

Stay Tuned!

Good Business Math: How to turn $4-mm in Private Investment & Presales into a $100-MM Revenue Stream

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - We cannot stress how material and monumental the news of today is: that we are going to be the FIRST production company to make a fully CGI - Artifical Intelligence generated animated feature with JOURNEY TO UTOPIA.

For decades, Disney, Pixar, Fox and Universal / Amblin have controlled the $400+BILLION annual world animation market - due to the obstacles of the HUGE production costs and multi-year schedules that animated features have traditionally required. That all goes away with the advent of Ultra-HD quality AI generated animation, following top-shelf character designs, scene structures and built atop a solid script with Academy Award level voice actors. 

Suddenly, a (currently) small company like Hannover House (and our new INTELIMATION AI division) can produce a film that looks and feels comparable to the top studio releases. 

But we can do it for $4-million and finish it in less than 8-months. Best of all, the production costs are fully covered by production incentives, bank gap credit and private investors... so HHSE does not have to struggle to find capital or dilute the company's share structure with stock issuances. 

This is a seminal moment in the company, and one that will be further enhanced by our uplist filings and the MyFlix division.

Get ready, friends. It's going to be an exciting ride!

UPDATE: JUNE 2024 - Although our announcement last September had virtually no impact on the price or volume of the HHSE stock - some shareholders have still requested an UPDATE on this project. Our private equity fund supporting this release gave us only one condition: that the three top characters be Academy Award winning actors. While we are pleased to have Forest Whitaker and Kim Basinger still committed to this project, we regret to announce that the agent for Shirley MacLaine does not feel she is physically "up" to the project - even with our offer to send a sound recordist to Santa Fe to record the character in her home. We have been pursuing replacement actresses to portray "Mother Goose" - on the condition that the performer be an Oscar winner. Thus far, we have not secured a suitable replacement. SO - the project has been delayed by about 9-months due to this casting development. Fortunately, no other studio has beaten us to the "first ever AI Generated Animated Feature" prize... so that's still an exciting position for HHSE.

Hannover House forms InteliMation AI for first major A.I. Animated Feature Production

 

JOURNEY TO UTOPIA to begin production in December with A-List Voice & Music Talent

Major launch planned for Cannes and Summer (2024) Theatrical Release

 

New York, NY - InteliMation AI, a newly formed division of indie studio Hannover House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE), has secured a private investment commitment to produce the world’s first fully A.I. and CGI generated feature film, the family appeal fantasy film, “Journey to Utopia.” Featuring a voice talent cast of Academy Award winning actors and box office stars, the film’s visuals will be fully generated using cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence visual rendering, based on producer-supplied scene structure input and character designs.

 

“We have been trying to produce this film for the past ten years,” said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. “But the visual demands of creating the land of Utopia made the production costs prohibitive and financially risky. That has changed now with the new A.I. technology and our improved strategy to make the film animated as opposed to live-action,” he concluded.

 

“The Artificial Intelligence CGI technology has reached a point where we can create an animated feature that is visually comparable to a $200-million-dollar studio production, but completed for a fraction of the cost and time,” said Parkinson. “From script to theatrical DCP, we can produce a major studio quality animated feature in less than eight months.”

 

“The technology from InteliMation should herald in a major paradigm shift in entertainment,” said Christian Large, an independent producer and advisor to Hannover House. “High-end animated features will no longer take multiple years and hundreds-of-millions of dollars to produce. This technological breakthrough will enable a broader range of stories to be created and released, which ultimately will help expand the market,” he concluded.

 

The script for “JOURNEY TO UTOPIA” was written by Mike Snyder (“Wildfire”) based on a story by Eric Parkinson.  The production is in negotiations to secure three Academy Award winning actors as voice talent for the film.  Shirley MacLaine is pegged for the role of “Mother Goose;” Forest Whitaker is being pursued to portray the principal antagonist, “Valkerna,” and Kim Basinger is being pursued in the role of “Connie Hammonds,” the mother of one of the kids who becomes trapped in the land of Utopia.

 

Pending receipt of a Screen Actors Guild waiver for the production, recording of voice talent is expected to start in late November.  A promo reel is planned for the Cannes 2024 festival with a USA Theatrical launch targeted for July  2024.

The world animation market will generate over $411-billion dollars in 2023, according to Statista Research Department – and is expected to grow to over $580-billion by the year 2030.  The A.I. fueled software technology pioneered by Hannover House and InteliMation will revolutionize how animated features and television programming are made.

 

Hannover House and InteliMation are targeting to complete two animated features in 2024, with three set for 2025 and four features per year beginning in 2026.  Hannover House will handle the sales representation of the films worldwide, and will coordinate North American theatrical and ancillary sales campaigns with exhibitors, partner studios and major video-on-demand platforms.  Hannover House was formed in 1993 and has found success in a variety of indie film distribution arenas, from DVD and VOD distribution to theatrical exhibition.

 

The release plans for “Journey To Utopia” will follow a traditional model of a wide USA theatrical launch, followed by Video-On-Demand and physical goods (DVDs / BluRay units).

Hannover House Announces WHAM Studio Rentals – A Full-Service Provider to the Motion Picture Industry

Hannover House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE) has entered into a private investment venture to purchase movie specialty trailers, trucks and equipment to support the company’s expanded activities as a feature production company. The equipment will be housed in a newly constructed facility consisting of 3,600 square feet of office and production space, along with a 4,200 square foot “grand room” that will serve a dual purpose as a large storage garage for the vehicles as well as functioning as a production stage when needed. Pending finalization of the site and necessary permits, the company plans to commence construction in December with full operations ready by April, 2024.

 

“As we have experienced with our current ‘WILDFIRE’ production, there is a significant world market for quality feature films,  and a predictable profit margin if they can be produced efficiently,” said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. “One of the recurring problems we have encountered in the past few years is the near-absence of specialty movie trailers and professional production gear for rental in this part of the country. This new venture is a strategic move to help reduce costs of future Hannover House and MyFlix productions, while also creating a rental business opportunity to service other productions in the Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri markets.”

 

The Hannover House movie equipment rental business will be branded as “WHAM Rentals”, an abbreviation of the phrase “We Have All Media.” In addition to cameras, sound equipment and lighting gear, the biggest ticket items for the venture are the movie specialty trailers: an 8-unit SAG Honey Wagon for actors; a 3-unit Luxury Star Wagon and a 7-bay Hair & Make-Up trailer. The company is also looking at the possibility of purchasing a Lunch-Box Production Trailer and a separate four-room restroom trailer.

 

“Based on our own, internal Hannover House facilitated productions for 2024, all of this equipment will be paid off within a year,” said Parkinson.  “Additionally, as we anticipate nearly 24 weeks per year of down-time, the items can be rented to third party productions when we are not utilizing them, as an income source for HHSE and our private investors in WHAM,” he concluded.

 

Full details of the financing structure and income forecasts for Hannover House will be included within the company’s current S.E.C. registration filings. 

 

Hannover House is producing or facilitating four features at this time, including  “The Last Days of Belle Starr,” “Native Fables”, “Modern Antiquities” and “Senior Year.”  Additionally, the company is working with overseas co-production partners on a high profile, three-picture slate valued at over $80-million, all of which will be shot in Europe.

 

“Hannover House has been operating continuously now for thirty years,” said Parkinson. “We have survived by anticipating market conditions and evolving to meet those needs. There is a tremendous opportunity over the next few years to produce quality programming to service the worldwide explosion of streaming outlets. We are positioning Hannover House to fill that need, while also building a solid asset base in terms of company owned films and jointly-owned motion picture equipment.”

Hannover House rebrands subsidiary special purpose corporation in anticipation of major new venture announcement

At a special meeting held on August 15, 2023, the Hannover House board of directors voted to rename and register a subsidiary corporation, in anticipation of a major financing and production announcement. The Arkansas registered entity, Vodwiz, Inc., formed in 2018, has been officially renamed and registered as Hannover Studios AI, Inc., along with the dba trade name of InteliMation.

A temporary placeholder webpage has been established at: www.InteliMation.us which is also reachable at www.HannoverStudios.AI .

Vodwiz, Inc. was originally established as the special purpose entity for the Hannover House streaming venture, MyFlix. However, the MyFlix venture has been built and funded through the parent corporation, Hannover House, Inc., and the Vodwiz entity had been functionally idle.

Hannover House will release financing and production news regarding this new venture – which it feels is a complement to the current activity for becoming a fully reporting and audited public company. 

Screen Actors Guild Strike - Could Offer HUGE Opportunities for HHSE Facilitated Productions

Greetings HHSE Followers - Management has been asked if the current SAG Actors strike will have a detrimental impact on HHSE or MyFlix operations? If the strike ends very quickly, in less than 60 days for instance, there will be no noticeable impact to HHSE. However, if the strike results in a prolonged work stoppage, the impact is surprisingly positive.

The National Board of the Screen Actors Guild is already approving that certain types of feature film productions can proceed during the strike. The primary consideration is that the financing for such a project is not occurring by an AMPTP member studio, or through a pre-sale contract to such a member studio. Essentially, if a film is independently produced and funded - such as the sorts of movies that Hannover House has been involved in - then actors will be allowed to appear in such projects. Accordingly, it is possible that higher stature stars may elect to appear in such a film, due to their availability.

Of course, this is only a theoretical benefit, but it is one that is already beginning to manifest in just the first few days of the strike (see DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD story). 

Exciting week in store for Hannover House - stay tuned!

Exciting News for HHSE !

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - Hannover House has completed the negotiations and now has a Full-Time CPA / Controller working on our team!  The company has never had a CPA-level accountant on staff, especially someone with the Fortune 100 company experience of this new team member - and someone with this level of expertise in Sarbanes-Oxley procedures and PCAOB accounting requirements.  We are honoring the "quiet period" from his prior employer before disclosing his identity and professional credentials in detail... but we have never been happier with such a crucial, strategic hire.

Over the past few months, HHSE has been frustrated with vague notes from the PCAOB auditors... who are prohibited from providing HHSE with directly specific instructions or advice on required changes.  G.A.A.P. rules do not allow an auditor to opine on their own work.  Accordingly, it's been frustrating for HHSE to keep making changes - and guessing at the meaning between vague comments - only to find out weeks later that we are still not satisfying the enhanced standards the the S.E.C. and FINRA that require of arms-length public company auditors.  

Having an experienced CPA-level Controller on our team is a huge step towards conforming our reporting to satisfy the public company auditors. This individual started with HHSE as of yesterday (Monday, June 26) and he has already made huge progress in restructuring our chart of accounts, balance sheet and reporting formats.  We should have these updates ready in the next few days, and we and will go-to-bat again with the auditors in our quest to file the Form 10 registration.

With Desiree Garnier overseeing MYFLIX,  Chris Large overseeing Original Productions, and the new management team member as a CPA / Controller for financial management and reporting, this core team is just what HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson has hoped to hire for the past ten years.

IN OTHER NEWS:  "My Secret Billionaire" (formerly known as "Homeless Billionaire") has surpassed the $1-million threshold in North American Streaming Revenues.  Some HHSE Shareholders will recall that Hannover House released this film in June of 2016 in New York City - and set a HOUSE RECORD at the Regal E-Walk that has stood to this day.  We then placed the title for V.O.D. streaming with VISION FILMS, and their placements have since crossed this impressive revenue threshold.  Congratulations to real-life billionaire, Fraydun Manocherian, writer-director-producer of the film, and owner of the KIMBERLY HOTEL in New York (and many other buildings).  Sometimes good things DO HAPPEN to good people!

Stay tuned...

$$ Ka-Ching $$ HHSE's "Cowboys of Cannabis" Feature Version to launch with Major Streaming Exclusive!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - "Cowboys of Cannabis" will launch this September with a high-profile campaign to support an EXCLUSIVE launch run with a major streaming service (can't disclose details today, but it's from a Fortune Top 100 media company).

This sale is beneficial to HHSE in revenue terms in three ways:  off-the-top distribution fee, recoupment of investment loans and profit participation shares. Additionally, and subject to the program being popular or considered "successful," this could lead into an order for a multi-episodic series as well as strengthen the company's relationship with this major media outlet.

The program being launched is what we are calling the Feature Version of COWBOYS OF CANNABIS - at approx. 80-minutes. The rationale' in creating a feature edit is to build fan enthusiasm and brand momentum so that ongoing production activities for an episodic series will have a stronger launch foundation. 

Stay tuned!  This is just one of MANY major developments that will re-invent HHSE in the next few weeks!
