Greetings HHSE Friends - although the "festival" portion of the Cannes market will continue through this weekend, the "market" portion is functionally completed as of tonight (Tuesday, May 19). Hannover celebrated with a bang-up premiere event for SINATRA! ETERNITY with a standing room only crowd and a second overflow screening required at the Eden Cinemas (110 capacity, and 158 attendees!!). We made the most of the situation with media coverage from GETTY IMAGES, ASSOCIATED PRESS, FORBES, CNN and three "French" broadcasting groups seen only within France.
Working in conjunction with Crisis Cinema of Greece, we helped with additional territorial licenses for the Sinatra film into France, Italy and Germany... with strong interest from buyers in the U.K. and Spain.
Regarding other Hannover House items, four additional markets were added for WILDFIRE and two for UNHOLY SONG. Details will be included in the formal Cannes wrap-up (likely this weekend, as this is a quick overview blog).
The company also made deals for FIVE new feature productions that HHSE will handle for USA and English-speaking Canada... including two "huge" / material level productions. Can't wait to giet the press rolling on those.
MyFlix support is unanimous, across the board, even with major studios. Everyone LOVES the idea of another retail streaming outlet... with the added twist of USER INTERFACE ability to upload their own videos, makes MyFlix a magnet for TRAFFIC (and much of this will lead to streaming of our Advertiser Supported feature programs).
SO - with a flight back to the USA for Wednesday, I'll wrap this teaser up with the promise of a much more detailed report in the next few days.
Onward....
