Cannes Bound!

Hannover House is taking on a dual-role at this year's Cannes Film Festival!  In addition to our traditional presence as a "buyer" for North American rights, the company will also be exhibiting and selling films directly to international buyers, for the first time in our 20-year history.  Over the past five years, the company has accumulated sales and licensing rights to more than thirty titles, which represent a significant revenue potential once marketed.  We have been hesitant to engage a third-party sales agency or distributor, for a variety of reasons (ranging from "the right market for launch" and the "right product as locomotives" to the obvious desire to maintain control rather than empower a third-party).

However, with significant international activity happening for our higher-end production titles, we determined that the time was finally right to begin sales activities on the company's catalog titles.
The Cannes Film Festival -- and simultaneous "Marche du Filme" market will occur from May 15 to May 26 in Cannes, France.

The Company's High-End, Theatrical Productions Include:

"MOTHER GOOSE!"

"THE LEGEND OF BELLE STARR"

 

"THE MOTHMAN CHRONICLES"

 

The other title offerings will include lower-budgeted (new) features, catalog features and direct-to-video special products.  Having our own, in-house International Sales & Licensing division is yet another milestone achievement towards the Company's goal of growing into a major, independent studio supplier.

Budget Bins drive Catalog Sales for Hannover House

As discussed in our annual Shareholder's Meeting last month, Hannover House is ramping up activities to re-work / re-package / and re-promote the titles from the Company's film and television library.  One of the best methodologies for maximizing catalog revenues is to create thematic multipacks for placement at the WalMart and Best Buy budget bins.  In this respect, we are pleased to announce that our "COWBOYS AND HEROES" pack has been accepted at WalMart!  Stay tuned for release date details as the bin space is allocated for the next placement period.

More Wal-Mart Placements!

Form 10 Registration Filing with the S.E.C.

We are pleased to report that our efforts to begin full-reporting with the S.E.C. / Edgar have been resolved, with the preparation and filing of a Form 10 Statement to re-register as a reporting entity.  The Form 10 route was clearly the fastest route to reporting approval, and we thank the helpful team at the S.E.C. / Edgar Department for corporate finance and compliance.  The Form 10 document is being reviewed by HHSE corporate counsel, with the plan to submit it back to the S.E.C. within the next few days.  The S.E.C.'s approval of the HHSE Form 10 will enable periodic reports (including 10Q's and 10K's) to be automatically filed on a going-forward basis.  The reinstatement of reporting status will also automatically elevate the company's OTC status to "QB" and will provide greater security for shareholders.  Thanks for your patience in resolving this matter.

In a related development, the "Jiri Barta Napude Gallery" link (posted last week to YouTube), has been removed at the request of three major retailers.  They felt that the DVD / Blu-Ray bonus elements should not be publicly available outside of the physical retail product for at least the first sixty days. 

YouTube Short Film on Jiri Barta's animation work for "TOYS IN THE ATTIC"

"Toys in the Attic" -- the English adapatation based on Jiri Barta's acclaimed animated feature, "Na Pude" -- will be released this next week to DVD, Blu-Ray and Video-On-Demand in the United States.  The DVD and Blu-Ray Releases are packed with "bonus" features, including a 25-minute "Making of..." featurette (entitled "The Magical World of Barta") and the 3-minute "Napude Photo Gallery" which is now posted onto YouTube.

S.E.C. Reporting Status

The FORM 10Q submission to Edgar from Hannover House has been received and approved for content and format.  However, prior to posting by Edgar, Hannover House was assigned on Thursday to work with a compliance director at the S.E.C. to reinstate the reporting status for the Company.  The last filing under the Company's Commission code was in 2005 (under "Mindset Interactive Corporation" -- a predecessor to Target Development Group, Inc., now known as Hannover House, Inc.).  So all of this activity to reinstate reporting status is in motion with the S.E.C. / Edgar Filings Department, and the Company will be able to maintain full reporting status, hereafter.  We expect a timeline on Tuesday for the publication of the FORM 10-Q, and will report back at that time.
