At long last - HHSE Access to S.E.C. Edgar is fully restored!

Greetings & Happy New Year to our HHSE Friends & Followers - Perhaps it's a brilliant strategy to stop hackers and unauthorized access? But the hoops that the S.E.C. Edgar Department requires of issuers / filers to regain access to an account is more complicated than a Dan Brown book plot. The procedures were navigated in November / early December... only to have to be re-created from scratch once again in mid-December (until TODAY) in order to have access authorized for a third party XBRL & Filing services provider. But it got done... and the November Form 8 was finally accepted by the Edgar publication desk.  We also updated the company address and some additional listings information today - both of which items will go "live" tonight (according to the automated message from the Edgar help desk).

Now that we've cleared the S.E.C. Edgar hurdle, we can resume filing the documents that support the company's UPLIST application to OTC: QB - which many feel will be the beginning of VERY BIG things for Hannover House shareholders.

In other news, the Wyoming annual corporate taxes and filings were also completed.  Every year for the past twelve years, our status shows as "delinquent" during the first week of January... yet, prepayment and filing early is not an option prior to mid-December (and even then, a filing made Dec. 15 will STILL show as delinquent UNTIL such time that the super-busy Wyoming Secretary of State team processes the documents). So, it's all good... even though it may still show as delinquent for a few more days. 

The factors that have kept the HHSE stock depressed these past few months are all fading away as we move into our OTC:QB uplist and a terrific 2024!

Chasing a Winner! TUBI says "Bring it On" for More COWBOYS OF CANNABIS!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - they say that the secret to success is to figure out what's WORKING and do more of that. Accordingly, we are pleased to announce that the initial launch of "COWBOYS OF CANNABIS" onto TUBI has been deemed a big success... and they said "Bring it On" when asked if they are wanting a sequel or additional episodes!

Production commenced this past week on "COWBOY CUP - The Return of the Cowboys of Cannabis" - with nearly 10 hours of solid footage now shot. The completion of this sequel is set for mid-January, with a target broadcast (TUBI) launch date of April 18, 2024.

HHSE will begin receiving cash flow from the first "COWBOYS OF CANNABIS" that launched in November, in February... due to the time-lag of reporting and payments. But this first episode will also be launched later this month (DECEMBER) onto Roku, Plex, Amazon, and other high-profile streaming services, now that the 30-day TUBI exclusive has expired. 

Creating and owning product is a solid business model for HHSE to build regular cash flows, and long-term asset value. The "old" business model of representing the distribution rights to third-party produced titles was problematic:  no long-term asset value and nothing but grief from delusional producers who all thought that their films should be massive hits. 

HHSE produced titles are developed with a clear understanding of the MARKET VALUE for certain genre' categories and stars. There's no delusion when you know exactly WHAT to produce, WHO to sell it to and HOW MUCH they are paying for such programming. SO - it's a TERRIFIC business model, as proven already with the success of COWBOYS OF CANNABIS. Special thanks to director and show-runner CHRIS LARGE and D.O.P. David Huff for a hugely successful shoot!

Go HHSE!

HHSE - Form 8 Disclosures / and Edgar (SEC) Access

Greetings HHSE friends - At long last, HHSE was issued new access codes, pass-phrase, CCC, CIK and PMAC so that we can resume public filings via the S.E.C. Edgar Database. 

There are several issues that the company's security counsel felt needed to be disclosed prior to our more substantive filings... and these are listed in the Form 8 below. 

Although we now have direct access to publish disclosures and reports to the S.E.C. Edgar Department, we have lost several days of productivity attempting to properly format this Form 8 so that it could be uploaded. In the recent past, all "text" documents could be easily uploaded, with only the financial charts needing the metatags and formatting from an XBRL service. However, documents posted onto Edgar now must be in either raw text form (no formatting), or in "web page" HTML friendly form. 

Our Form 8 below started with 402 HTML errors a week ago. We have whittled this down to 22 errors by laboriously making line-by-line corrections to the ASCII codes of the HTML formatting (which is not visible on the published files). However, we have hit an impasse on these final 22 HTML / ASCII errors, and have made the decision (and investment) to engage a 3rd party formatting company to complete the process on this Form 8 statement. We apologize for the delay... based on prior HHSE submissions to Edgar, we did not anticipate any format changes that would impede our filings. 

Now we know... So, onward to the more important tasks at hand...

UPDATE: Thursday, Dec. 7 - 8-k has now been properly formatted. We were informed this morning by the S.E.C. Edgar Filer Support team that HHSE must send a notarized authorization form to allow for third party access to make our Edgar filings. This notarization and authoriztion has been completed and uploaded to Edgar... so at any moment now, the company will commence making S.E.C. filings (via our third party services provider), so that we can complete the various corporate goals and projects. 

WILDFIRE and COWBOYS OF CANNABIS Both Launched!

At long last, and after prior delays and disappointments, the reality is finally here! Selected scenes from WILDFIRE screened last night to a sold out and enthusiastic audience at the Lone Star Film Festival in Fort Worth… and... COWBOYS OF CANNABIS launches today (Nov 3) under an exclusive arrangement with TUBI - a wholly-owned division of the Disney-Fox media empire (a Fortune 100-listed company). The Wildfire sneak peak clips screening attracted national and local media coverage, and facetiously featured "the biggest star to ever walk the red carpet"... our equine star PANCHO who portrays the title character horse. After the screening, Michael Martin Murphey, and Chevel Shepherd conducted a VIP performance of songs from the movie. Additional information and media links will be posted over the upcoming days. Next - watch for Ads, publicity and social media outreach in support today's launch of COWBOYS OF CANNABIS on TUBI. HHSE and 1-11 Productions get paid every time the show is watched ("Advertiser supported VOD"). So, we have motivation to encourage people to watch the show over the coming weeks. Much more to come... buckle up!

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.”
