We never thought that WILDFIRE would be a movie to push MARVEL BLOCKBUSTERS off screens... or to hit any "Ten Best" lists of the year. But it's nice when someone actually WATCHES the film and "gets it," like NYC MOVIE GURU, Avi Offer.
All of the positive reviews from Mainstream Critics will help with our DVD / BluRay packaging and ongoing promotions. Go HHSE!

Huge Shout Out and THANKS to Street Media, LLC for their support of the Hannover House theatrical release, "WILDFIRE: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse."
The film's New York City release (this Friday) is being supported with an outbound email blast to 100,000 opt-in Village Voice readers... as well as a Social Media post on the Village Voice pages... AND... banner ad visibility (linking to the Cinema Village tickets page).
A similar campaign will support the film's upcoming release in Los Angeles, via Street Media's L.A. Weekly brand.
We're making noise - building awareness for WILDFIRE and for HHSE
Launching TOMORROW via NBC-Universal's premiere FANDANGO AT HOME on-demand service, "WILDFIRE" is the featured family selection for the month! Over 30-Million unique monthly visitors to this highest-traffic ON-DEMAND streaming service in the world. We are informed that each RENTAL of WILDFIRE for $3.99 will result in a approx. "gross" of $1.60 per transactions. As previously disclosed, Hannover House has a sales agency fee, plus recoupment of marketing expenditures and production loans... so it's CRAYZEE lucrative for HHSE.
Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - The Motion Picture Academy featured "TORN" for both an official screening and a live-stream interview with director NIM SHAPIRA - which can be seen at the link below.

We believe that the support shown by the Academy bodes well for the title's chances of both a NOMINATION as well as a potential WIN in the category of BEST DOCUMENTARY Oscar for 2025.
Regardless if either of those happens, it's great for an indie company like Hannover House to have support for our titles from such prestigious industry groups.

Hannover House partners with Fandango for maximum ON-DEMAND launch of WILDFIRE movie
Universal City, CA – Fandango at Home,
the premium video-on-demand streaming service owned by NBC Universal and Warner
Brothers Discovery, will launch the Hannover House – Hemdale Film Corp. family
title, “WILDFIRE: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse” commencing
October 10 throughout the United States and Canada. The movie, inspired by the
#1 worldwide hit song by Michael Martin Murphey, marks the final screen
performance for legendary star Anne Heche. Other stars in the film include Mo
Brings Plenty (“Yellowstone”), Adrian Paul (“Highlander”
series) and Chevel Shepherd, winner of NBC’s “The Voice” competition
in her screen debut. The film was written and directed by Hannover House CEO,
Eric Parkinson. Hannover House stock shares are traded on the OTC markets under
the symbol HHSE.
“WILDFIRE”
was launched to theatres in selected markets last weekend, and will expand to
additional markets throughout October. The Hannover House release is being
handled through the company’s recently re-launched Hemdale brand. The support
campaign has been tailored to generate maximum impact and awareness during the
Fandango streaming launch, in order to create the immediate access for
consumers.
“Michael
Martin Murphey’s song is iconic,” said Eric Parkinson. “We believe that the
launch of the film to On Demand through Fandango at Home will deliver the
largest possible audience to access and view the film. We will also be
releasing the film months later via BluRay, DVD and other streaming services.
But the campaign supporting the Fandango launch in October is what we feel will
generate the greatest viewership,” he concluded.
The
Fandango website generates over 30-million unique USA visitors each month – and
over 60-million visitors worldwide. The site is hailed within the entertainment
industry as delivering the greatest audience reach of any non-membership
delivery platform in the world.

Greetings HHSE Friends - We launched the initial eight markets yesterday for WILDFIRE in theatres... and will be expanding to more cities and screens during October. We split up the launch in order to maximize efficiency for national media with our IN-DEMAND streaming date - as well as to navigate around the 900-lb gorilla next weekend (Oct. 3) with the just-announced drop of a new movie for Taylor Swift eating up 4,000+ locations. Only Taylor Swift has the market clout to announce a new film for WIDE release just 3-weeks before launch... even the major studios plan for their tentpole releases MANY MONTHS in advance. So, normally, a small indie company like Hannover House can carefully navigate release opportunities, and slip "IN" a film between major studio event titles... but alas, Taylor Swift is notorious for making her own rules when it comes to entertainment industry practices! Smart companies, like Hannover House, adapt and thrive, even when the rules change!
ALTHOUGH the box office numbers from the opening weekend are insignificant - the proof of success is that we are being HELD OVER ... AND... being EXPANDED for some added locations on Oct. 10 and Oct. 17 (in addition to New York City and Los Angeles). THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A MAJOR, NEW ERA FOR HHSE AND OUR SHAREHOLDERS. Enjoy the results of our mutual labors and long patience to grow the company intelligently, carefully and efficiently!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - A few weeks ago, HHSE disclosed that we had entered into a letter of intent (LOI) for a credit-enhancement bond to support a bank credit line of $3.5-million dollars. HHSE Securities counsel advised that we had a legal obligation to make this disclosure within five business days - even if there were still weeks / months of work to occur before the bank funding occurs.
Under public-company securities laws and practices, events of a "material" level nature must be disclosed to shareholders. In this case, proceeding with this funding deal means that we cannot proceed with an alternative form of bank funding until it's funded or until it's abandoned. While we have no intention of seeking alternative bank deals, as long as this particular credit-enhancement venture is in motion, we are bound. Conversely, if something transpired that resulted in a withdrawal of this venture, HHSE would have a mandatory 5-day disclosure for that news as well.
Events of a "material" nature depend on the issuer. While this credit line is a HUGE step for HHSE (and therefore a "material event"), it would be a daily interest rounding error for APPLE, and therefore NOT a material level event relative to the size of that company.
As of Sept. 22, 2025, we do not foresee any obstacles to meeting the bank requirements. There are issues with the credit enhancement bond and how the fee for issuance will be paid. But these are being addressed, and seem to be on a track to resolution. If we cannot resolve this issue (or any others), we would have an obligation to promptly disclose this to our shareholders.
Some shareholders have asked WHY Hannover House has not pursued "traditional bank financing" lines of credit in the past? The primary obstacle has been the existence of three "foreign judgments" against the company - which (even though settled and performing) - cast a shadow over the company's ability to get an unsecured line-of-credit until "satisfaction of judgments" are filed with the applicable courts. Accordingly, a credit-enhanced bank line is a good solution for HHSE, even with the additional costs for the surety bond.
Lots of exciting stuff in motion for HHSE. If this were not the case, we would be required to disclose as much!
