Watch for MAJOR NEWS of Barr McClellan - TRUMP Campaign Book

Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - After two prior successful publishing releases with Hannover House, we were honored to be selected for a third release by author BARR McCLELLAN for his new book:


AMERICAN MANIFESTO: 

The Unstoppable Journey of President Donald J. Trump


While the book is exciting... what we are most excited about is the SUPPORT we have received from Trump Media & Technologies / TRUTH SOCIAL and "X" regarding assistance with the promotional marketing  outreach campaign for this release. Over the next few weeks, over 200-million impressions are being targeted to "like-minded consumers" that are believed to be motivated to buy this book. There are other opportunities brewing as well.


Thanks for hanging in with your support of Hannover House. We hope everyone has a truly joyous Christmas / Holiday Season... and that we see GREAT SUCCESS together in 2025.

HHSE Horror-Thriller Wins BEST PICTURE at L.A. Punk Film Festival, Sunday, Dec. 1

 Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - It's not a big deal, and it's not a big and prestigious film festival... BUT... to the target audience for UNHOLY SONG, being selected as the BEST FILM at the L.A. Punk Film Festival has the same counter-culture impact of a mainstream movie winning at CANNES.

Huge KUDOS to producers ARTHUR G. NIGHT, VICTOR REYES and QUINT GABRIEL on taking the top award at the three-day festival, that wrapped in North Hollywood, CA last night. 

None of us at Hannover House have been touting UNHOLY SONG as a likely awards-caliber film. But for the genre' of thriller and horror... it hits the BULLSEYE and this is why we're super excited for its upcoming theatrical release.

"Low budget, indie horror films don't make money," said a poster onto one of the stock-trading chat boards. I'm guessing that this person has not seen the CURRENT success of the micro-budgeted TERRIFIER 3 - which is already at $54-million USA Box Office for Cinedigm / Cineverse Releasing. 

SO - Hold on tight... we're gonna make some NOISE with "UNHOLY SONG."

Grateful for the patience and support of our HHSE Longs

 Dear HHSE "LONGS" and legitimate shareholders - 

We are humbled and blessed by your patience and support during our difficult corporate journey these past few years. As we move now into a NEW ERA, we can reflect back on the adventure and path that brought us to this important point in time. Yes, the company made some mistakes during our 30+ years - but we persevered and learned to adapt and improve. 

The next few months and years may not be "perfect" - but we are flying in a higher orbit now as a media company, as a stock issuer and as a production company. 

To those that stuck with us through the rough times - we are grateful, thankful and will not forget your loyalty and commitment to see us reach these goals. To those that lost patience or faith, we understand that it's sometimes hard to see the future or to wait for the big successes that often come to hard-working innovators. No hard feelings from HHSE, just glorious thanks for the opportunity to complete our goals. 

Onward & Upward friends!

Hannover House Welcomes Author BARR McCLELLAN for a FOURTH Book Publishing Venture!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - Success breeds success... and we have had plenty of success with the prior book releases from author BARR McCLELLAN.

His 2003 book from Hannover House was "BLOOD MONEY & POWER: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K." - which shot to # 1 on Amazon.com (Non-Fiction) and # 11 for the New York Times best sellers.

In 2009, we released "MADE IN THE U.S.A." - Barr's prescient theory that foreign import tariffs could spark a return of run-away manufacturing jobs, and have a profound and positive impact to the USA economy.

In 2014, his follow-up book, "THE VERDICT" was released to ebooks and audio (but not to hard-cover or print editions).

NOW - watch for news of Barr McClellan's biggest and most ambitious book yet:  "AMERICAN MANIFESTO." Details of what this book is about are under strict QUARANTINE... but suffice it to say that this is a HUGE deal for Hannover House and we are honored to have earned the trust and loyalty of author Barr McClellan.

MORE TO COME!

HHSE Acquires Worldwide Rights to OSCAR-WORTHY Feature Documentary, "PLAY IT LOUD"

 Dear HHSE Friends - We are pleased to announce that we are in final-post production of the feature documentary "PLAY IT LOUD" (formerly listed as "Sweat it Out") and will be premiering the film at a major USA festival quite soon (separate announcement). 

The teaser trailer link is below... as is our "look book" for International Sales and marketing. The film turned out to be absolutely fantastic... and as such... Hannover House will be pursuing the opportunities for this to be considered for Best Documentary category with the Academy Awards. 

This film is uniquely positioned as both a likely CRITIC'S FAVORITE, as well as for commercial box office success. Our target audience has already proven their love for these artists (to the tune of over 1-billion records / CD's sold collectively)... and we think that the film hits all of the hot-buttons for entertainment, fan-support and awards worthiness. 

Check out the trailer and the look-book, and know that your faith in HHSE to emerge as a major indie studio player has been well deserved!




NOTE: some of the "fonts" in our Look-Book did not convert perfectly from Adobe to JPEG (for use on this blog site). Accordingly, some of the text is more-tightly spaced in the JPEG's below than in either the PRINTED version of the Look Book, or the electronic / adobe PDF version.

HHSE Rocks Hollywood with a Super Successful PREMIERE for "UNHOLY SONG"

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - The indie film world is ripe with surprise successes, and HHSE's new horror thriller UNHOLY SONG is now a player in that phenomenon!

As some you may know, last weekend saw HHSE distribution partner Cinedigm / Cineverse* shake-up the major studios with it's #1 Box Office Hit, "TERRIFIER 3" - opening to over $18-mm at the box office (and now at over $25-million in less than a week!).

Not since "The Blair Witch Project" 25-years ago, has a micro-budgeted indie horror film opened to #1 at the North American box office... and this indicates the tide of support within both the exhibitors community as well as with consumers, both seeking fresh and frightening new films.

Step in Hannover House with our just completed thriller, "UNHOLY SONG." This film was shot last October and November in Northern California, and just launched on Tuesday to a wildly successful premiere in Hollywood. The audience response was effusive and enthusiastic, and the major horror media attendees have pledged feature stories prior to the film's Feb. 21, 2025 theatrical launch. 

Special thanks to the ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FICTION, FANTASY & HORROR FILMS - as well as to the LOS ANGELES FILM SCHOOL (for use of their impressive 350+ seat, stadium-style theatre). Thanks also for the support from major media and specialty publications, including GETTY IMAGES, DREAD CENTRAL, COLLIDER and FANGORIA.

How impactful will "UNHOLY SONG" prove to be for Hannover House? 

We will know soon. But in the meantime, for Cinedigm / Cineverse, their comparable "TERRIFIER 3" is on track for $40-million at the box office (which should net about $20-mm in "settlements" from exhibitors) - after Cinedigm / Cineverse spent less than $500,000 on the film and $500,000 on the national distribution costs. That's great math... and the sort of success that we will seek to replicate for our shareholders at Hannover House!

HHSE: DELIVERING FOR OUR SHAREHOLDERS!





The Los Angeles Film School Theatre - 6363 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood - was the venue for the warmly received world premiere of "UNHOLY SONG" on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024. Principal cast and crew attended, along with national and specialty (horror media) - for a successful premiere launch of this exciting, unique and terrifying new indie thriller. The film will open in USA theatres on Feb. 21, 2025 from Hannover House (OTC: HHSE).

HANNOVER HOUSE - Office Tour for Our Shareholders!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - We have been extremely busy lately with corporate ventures, filings, financings, productions and MyFlix activities. So much so, that have neglected to give our shareholders a photo-tour and update on how well our combo office-warehouse-production facility has worked out for the company. While HHSE has evolved with changing markets and product direction over our 31-years of operations... we have adapted our offices to meet present demands. Our current home these past 8-months has been working perfectly for our "post-DVD" business model. So, here's a quick history and some photos of our operations. 

A BRIEF HISTORY OF HHSE OFFICES

The company's first office was leased in 2001 at the "Old Post Office" on the downtown square of Fayetteville, Arkansas. This was a super-cool office, right in the center of town and the weekly farmer's market. But we outgrew it quickly (and frankly, some of the support staff were freaked out about the "rumor" of the Postmaster's Ghost - to which every creaking sound was attributed).  

In 2004 - HHSE relocated to "THE ICE HOUSE" in Fayetteville - located just south of the Walton Arts Center. This location also proved to have logistics problems - as the lack of a loading dock and warehousing space resulted in senior managers stopping work almost daily to load orders or unload other shipments. SO - in 2008 - HHSE moved to an Office-Warehouse combo in Springdale, Arkansas. This was a great location for eight years... until such time that the company MOVED the storage of DVDs to an off-premises warehouse...

Moving DVD storage resulted in the 8,000+ square feet of the Springdale office being over-kill in terms of space. Accordingly, in 2016, the company moved to office at College and Dickson Street in Fayetteville. These were nice offices... but on the "second year" of the lease, the landlord started charging 30% more rent. This  arbitrary surcharge resulted in a dispute and ultimately in a lawsuit.  So, in 2018 - HHSE moved across the street to another office. 

Frankly, with DVD product stored off-premises and a focus on location productions and MyFlix development - the company really did NOT need offices anymore at that point. But former HHSE President (Fred Shefte) wanted a work-space that was separate from his residence... so we basically got the office for Fred. There was a period of time in which the Fayetteville office was still under lease - AND - a separate office was operating in Tahlequah, Oklahoma (as a production office). Then there was a period of time in which ONLY the Tahlequah office was under lease (2022 - 2023). But when the company finally found its current location in Fayetteville (Feb. 2024), we knew we had finally located an ideal space.

Our offices are more than sufficient in terms of managerial office space. But more notably, we have over 1,500 square feet for STORAGE, plus separate office / work areas for Construction, Film Equipment and Wardrobe. Most notably, we have the largest cinema quality Green Screen production stage in Northwest Arkansas.  Financially, we are paying only about $1,000 per month MORE than what we had been paying for various storage facilities each month.

At our current offices, we can receive semi-trucks, process orders, and even "build sets" or build props. In fact, we recently "built" an 1880's style Prisoner Transport Wagon for use in the HHSE movie, INDIAN TERRITORY. We were unable to find or rent one... so we BUILT it for $1,500... and have since already "rented" it to a different production for $1,500, first rental out!

We still have the same HHSE Directors: Eric Parkinson, Christian Large and Kyle Martens. We also have an operations (warehouse) manager and an administrative secretary on staff. As for "advisors" - we are working with some very high-profile and well-known entertainment investors and executives, which will be evident quite soon (disclosure of advisory panel will occur contemporaneously with our current uplist filings). 

Yes, what we are doing is VERY ambitious and has a MAJOR upside for our shareholders... But also YES, it has taken quite a bit of time to pull it all together. It's notable to remind our longs that HHSE has paid or otherwise eliminated over $6.5-mm in debt in the past five years... AND... the company has not had any lawsuits of any sort in the past five years (corresponding to the timeframe that Fred Shefte took a medical-leave-of-absence... ending his prior strategy of "allowing" out-of-state disputes to go to judgment). NOW? If we have a dispute with a vendor or producer-supplier, we resolve it without litigation... thus our spotless record these past five years. 

Regarding business model - we are focused on the production of original feature films that the company owns or controls (instead of just "earns a fee for a short period of time"). We are also continuing work on what is likely a $100-mm venture:  MYFLIX. Yes, it has taken a long time... but that's because we are putting it together WITHOUT the benefit of millions of dollars of working capital. Such handicaps require more time...

MEANWHILE - there will be some fun news over the next two weeks... so stay tuned!
