Timing and Luck are sometimes the Greatest Elements for Success in the Entertainment Business

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers:  When the COVID-19 Pandemic shut down the world in mid-March, the schedule of filings and launches for HHSE ground to a halt. The world hunkered down (with some countries more disciplined than others), and we all wondered what the coming weeks and months would bring.  

One of the first issues that became evident in the new COVID reality of a home-quarantine world was that Americans were consuming more entertainment product than ever before... and utilizing a plethora of digital streaming options. 

More than a few people told HHSE management that they blew-through the "MANDOLORIAN" series, all of the STAR WARS movies and the thin slice of Disney / Fox offerings on the DISNEY+ channel in just a few days. Others said that they had already grown fatigued with the limited options on NETFLIX and were hoping that the NBC Peacock or other "brand-specific" streaming services would offer them another slice of delicious enjoyment. All of these issues - consumers wanting more streaming product and no other sites following the MyFlix MULTI-STUDIO all-genres model - have indicated that we are in the right place at the right time for MyFlix.  

In only five weeks, MyFlix is scheduled for an initial consumer launch, and all indicators show that we should have a strong immediate reaction.  As disclosed previously, the launch of MyFlix is not conditioned upon any new financing resulting from the Form 10 / S1 activities. We have separate financing for MyFlix - although the rapid expansion which we hope to need in the months following launch, could benefit from a portion of the S1 proceeds. Regarding the F10, our only update today is that we are confident it will be filed prior to the MyFlix launch.... and this is another example of good timing being in our favor with respect to corporate endeavors with electronic clearing of HHSE shares (now in effect), as the credibility benefits of the F10 and the working-capital benefits of the S1 Registration more closely matching the timing of our MyFlix launch.

But one of the least anticipated results is the tremendous distribution activity in motion for the original production of "WILDFIRE."  The stature of our cast continues to rise as young "Voice" winner CHEVEL SHEPHERD has completed a studio album and is launching a virtual concert tour (DEFINITELY sign up for her July 31 concert at:  https://spproductionslive.com/ ). KEEP IN MIND THAT 13-MILLION AMERICANS VOTED FOR "CHEVEL SHEPHERD" FOR HER WIN OF "THE VOICE" COMPETITION.  It's reasonable to predict that a good percentage of those people will want to see her motion picture debut in "WILDFIRE." 

Another cast member (Olivia Slatton-Fite) has just landed a major modeling contract and a recording deal; Michael Martin Murphey and Mo Brings Plenty each have concerts, films and TV shows lined-up for post-COVID, and Anne Heche and Thomas Jane continue to be solid, proven, Major Studio stars. 

But it's the concept of a teen-aged girl and a majestic horse that has the licensors most excited... as this particular genre of movie is almost always a mid-level commercial hit ($20-mm to $40-mm at the box office).  While this level of Box Office performance is uninteresting to the Major Studios for them to pursue as one of their own production endeavors...they are more than happy to have another company like HHSE facilitate such a production... and for us, the upside is literally millions of dollars more than our prior top-grossing film ("TWELVE" at $4.2-mm total).  So we are very happy with the response to WILDFIRE, as well as the upcoming MyFlix launch and the corporate filings that collectively will make HHSE into a highly visible, highly credible company. 

FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED IN SEEING SOME FOOTAGE FROM WILDFIRE:  We have been cleared to show a VIP Distributor's Promo Reel that is approximately 17-minutes long.  The only requirement for viewing this "not cleared for public broadcast" video is that access can only be granted to verified HHSE Shareholders as of July 17, 2020. The rest of the general public will have to wait until the 2:30-trailer is released later this summer.  Also, please note that the VIP reel has the "Stunt Fall" off the cliff scene REMOVED because this has been promised to a major network entertainment show as a world premiere scene for them to show in support of the film's release.

TO REQUEST A VIEWING LINK for the WILDFIRE Sneak Peek Promo Reel, send an email to: Eric@HannoverHouse.com;  if you are not already known to the company as an existing shareholder of record, please be prepared to provide evidence of your HHSE Stock ownership eligibility to see this VIP reel. 

For those of you interested in Music Soundtracks, we will have THREE Chevel Shepherd Songs, plus a remake of Murphey's "WILDFIRE" a remake of the CCR hit "SUSIE Q" - along with four licensed tracks, two new recordings of public domain tracks and three additional original songs all for the WILDFIRE soundtrack CD and digital album. 

We feel fortunate, we feel blessed, and we feel a bit lucky at how the circumstances and timing have worked into our favor. We hope that each of you also will benefit from this good fortune.  Meanwhile, stay safe, stay strong and stay long!

ONWARD....

HHSE General Blog Update: Friday, July 17

Greetings HHSE Friends - It's been a crazy week, with post-market follow-ups, the F10 and S1, and the completion of the film "WILDFIRE."  A general update blog has been promised, and yet, when there's around the clock activity, it's hard to keep track of the days and timing and to stop and reflect on the marathon now underway.

However, as promised, we will provide additional details on these key corporate activities and initiatives today. 

Hold tight... it's all in motion and all is good!

New HHSE film, "The Hangin' Judge" Feature Documentary is just-in-time for the CANNES VIRTUAL MARKET!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - "The Hangin' Judge" Feature Documentary (from 7-time Emmy Award Winning Producer-Director LARRY FOLEY) is being launched TODAY by Hannover House for the buyers of the Cannes Virtual Market.  Additional release details to follow.  Here's a copy of our Email blast to 7,100 Documentary and TV buyers today... along with some production photos.

HHSE has kept this and many other current productions "under the radar" from public announcement, as we had planned to release news (almost) every day for the first month following our Form 10 filing. But with this email blast happening NOW for the Cannes Market, it was not realistic to think that HHSE can keep this particular new 2019 - 2020 production a secret any longer.

It has been our belief that any and all news happening PRIOR to the Form 10 filing would be wasted in that most of our shareholders have a rather singular focus on the registration as the company's priority. That hasn't STOPPED HHSE from producing and acquiring additional products... it's just stopped us from publicly disclosing such ventures for a temporary period of time.

ONWARD, GO HHSE, and STAY SAFE (but hey, please wear a mask when in public!).

New Era in Trading Ease with HHSE now a DWAC / DTC / FAST approved Equity!

Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - it's an "invisible" achievement unless you are the beneficiary of a certificate issued directly by Hannover House. But the approval for DWAC / Electronic clearing of our shares is a huge step towards our overall credibility with major traders and funds.

For the vast majority of buyers and sellers of HHSE on the "open public markets" (such as brokers platforms like ETrade, Scottrade, TD Ameritrade, etc...), your purchases and sales of HHSE shares have already been processed electronically.  But for direct-issued stock certificates (such as consideration from the company), until now, these have been "Paper Certificates" physically issued and released.

The existence of HHSE shares in paper form has actually created a greater risk of "Naked Shorts" for cover to short sellers... as the inability to immediately verify access to (or ownership of) HHSE shares electronically created a plausible cover for some of these manipulators.  Now, however, with shares instantly clearing electronically, it will become obvious if a short-seller does not control HHSE shares at the time of a fake sale.

In any event... Electronic Clearing is just ONE of the major benchmarks... and was confirmed last week by AMY MERRILL of our Transfer Agent, STANDARD REGISTRAR & TRANSFER CO., INC.  A copy of Amy's email is reprinted below.  She has invited shareholders to call for verification.

ONWARD!!!

UPDATED:  Apparently, a support staff worker at STANDARD REGISTRAR misinformed a caller about our status, as she simply did not handle the matter.  Her email to the shareholder correcting this error is below.  Please note that EVEN THOUGH our HHSE shares are now DWAC / DTC / FAST cleared, this does NOT change the tacking / aging period requirements of anyone receiving shares.  For instance, HHSE President's FRED SHEFTE's ex-wife (Diana) will be issued shares of HHSE in the next two months following certification of their divorce settlement. The date of the shares that Ms. Shefte receives will start the clock for a 12-month aging before they are eligible to sell. This is a Rule 144 legal requirement, regardless of what "the sky is falling" proven stock manipulators try to convince you.

Hannover House resubmits 3-31-2020 Financials to Conform to Specific OTC Markets Formatting

Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - HHSE Management (and some shareholders) were surprised to see that the OTC Markets had downgraded our disclosure status from CURRENT to YIELD.  This was surprising because we had not only include EVERY item that the OTC Disclosures requires, but that we had ALSO included quite a few of additional disclosures and reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires for 10Q and 10K filings. 

However, the OTC Markets is not the S.E.C., and they have the ability to require that filings be in a particular order and format.  So, in order to restore our CURRENT listing status with the OTC, the 3-31-2020 report has been chopped in half, and reformatted and re-ordered to fall into the compliance structure that is the preferred layout for OTC review.

That said, all of the additional disclosures will remain on the S.E.C. 10Q report for 3-31-2020, and for those preferring a condensed version, the OTC Markets listing will suffice.

ONWARD!

HHSE hires staff for MyFlix Launch - Sets August 25, 2020 as Initial Consumer Launch

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - As previously communicated, the current market conditions from the worldwide COVID-19 Pandemic have resulted in nearly a doubling of industry-wide revenues from Streaming Media (and Video-On-Demand sites). This dynamic market trend perfectly complements our strategy for the launch of the MyFlix one-stop digital superstore site.

MyFlix has hired four full-time staff members for a pre-build beginning Monday, June 1, 2020 - and an initial consumer launch on August 25, 2020. At this time, MyFlix is targeting to have "at least 2,500" titles available on the launch date (from a combined catalog of more than 15,000 titles from 43 supplier studios).  To enhance the credibility of the site, an assortment of approximately 90 titles from Major Studio Suppliers will be prominently promoted, along with genre-categorized offerings from all of the independent and television supplier partners.

Initial marketing will be targeting high-consumption film audiences, reachable through entertainment media specific websites and through targeted social media.  As revenues grow - supplemented from proceeds of the Hannover House S1 Registration - hundreds of additional titles will be added each month and consumer advertising and publicity outreach will grow proportionately.

The MyFlix staff and executives will be practicing "social distancing" at the offices, including the wearing of safety masks until such time that scientific and medical data supports a relaxation of such precautions. The August 25, 2020 launch date corresponds with the anticipated "second wave" of required lock-downs for the USA Market, resulting from the premature relaxation of social distancing practices that some states are now encouraging.  MyFlix believes that the many millions of consumers impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will continue to actively purchase direct-to-home streaming entertainment... and that the wide variety of independent, art, foreign, action, genre and esoteric programming available on MyFlix will prove to be a welcomed alternative for those with "Netflix Fatigue" or general exhaustion of key titles from other high-profile sites.

Newly hired positions are:  Marketing Director, Web Programming Director, Data Manager and Programming Coordinator.  UPDATE (June 8, 2020):  On or about June 1st, a general press release will be posted listing these new staff hires, along with a group photo of the MyFlix team at work. Two of our four new MyFlix support staff hires did not start last week as previously planned... one was due to delays in relocation to NW Arkansas and the other due to a slightly longer requested "notice" period for a prior employer (to wrap-up a prior streaming-related project). This does not impact our timeliness for the August 25 initial consumer launch.

OTHER HHSE UPDATES:

*  DWAC / DTCC - We have been informed that our application for Electronic Clearing of HHSE stock shares has been APPROVED. This is actually a surprisingly impactful development for several reasons:

     a). LARGE INVESTORS - we have been handicapped from attracting some large and institutional investors to become HHSE shareholders because of the prior "paper certificate" handicap. With share issuances now available electronically, this obstacle has been removed.

     b). TRACKING AND POLICING OF SHORT SALES - The DTCC clearing makes it easier to track and block short-sellers by eliminating the uncertainty of potential share availabilities against which to borrow to cover a short sale position.

     c).  SUPPORTING BROKERS - There are only a few brokerage houses at present in the USA that will handle the clearance of paper certificates. But the electronic clearing opens up HHSE Shares to be cleared by almost all brokerage houses.

It will take up to two weeks for Standard Registrar to complete the process of converting HHSE transactions over to all electronic issuances. Additional updates will be provided on this blog.

*  FORM 10 UPDATE - HHSE continues to resolve the issues of third-party audit verifications and other document requirements.  HHSE has also received pledges of funding commitments of more than $1-mm from the initial $1.5-mm of the S1 Offering (i.e., 50-mm shares at $.03 each).  So, there's a tremendously attractive and beneficial reward within reach.  Additional updates will be provided on this blog.

*  BELLE STARR - HHSE has been negotiating a film financing venture to secure $5.5-mm to cover all costs for the production of the historic western, "The Legend of Belle Starr" (which will have two major "A" level stars). Subject to COVID-19 safety considerations, this film could begin shooting in September, 2020.  Additional updates will be posted on this blog.

*  WILDFIRE & "VIRTUAL CANNES" MARKET - The first-ever "theatrical trailer" from the current feature production of WILDFIRE is in the works... and will debut at the Virtual Cannes Market that is being held next month (in lieu of the physical Cannes Market in France, which was cancelled due to COVID-19 issues). While the trailer will have it's world premiere debut via the Virtual Cannes Market, HHSE shareholders will be able to see it the next day, via a link that will be posted on this blog site.

HHSE THANKS OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND OUR "LONGS" FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

HHSE Shareholders - What would you do if you were holding a winning lottery ticket?

Good Morning HHSE Friends & Followers – Recent stock trades for HHSE sparked the question that some of us would face when holding a winning lottery ticket.  Do we immediately announce it, cash it in, and decide what to do with the proceeds later?  Or, do we proceed with careful deliberation, strategic planning, and perhaps even implement the behind-the-scenes formation of a trust or tax-beneficial entity for the receipt of the proceeds before alerting the Lotto officials?

In the wake of the current COVID-19 Pandemic and its impact on businesses and task efficiencies, HHSE managers are facing a lot of pressure to cash our winning lotto ticket NOW.  Yes, our Form 10 Registration, our substantially pre-subscribed initial S-1 Funding, our MyFlix launch and our backlog of exciting HHSE news is like holding a winning lottery ticket in our collective, corporate pockets.  We know that in short order, sophisticated traders predict that HHSE shares will be trading for north of $.05 each and with the level of robust volume that makes a “last minute manipulative trade” of 5,000 shares ($41) - to “paint” a false value on the stock - into a non-event from desperately pathetic parties.

Yes, the HHSE stock has been targeted by a group of stock manipulators – actually more akin to some punks on a street corner than an actual organized crime effort by career players.  Regardless, HHSE management has been working with the FBI Special Crimes investigators for several years now, and we know the identities of these four individuals.  Even more telling, we know exactly which trading accounts they are using, and know that each of their transactions are being monitored and recorded… so we know when they put up a large “wall” of shares that it’s not real, and we can see when they post economically unjustifiable sales and wash-trades to attempt to manipulate the HHSE stock price.  Seriously, these four have made many HHSE sells of under 100 shares with a face-value of less-than-one-dollar ($1) in order to artificially manipulate the share price. What’s the average retail commission on trades?  Is it $6.99 per trade?  

Well, there’s a boatload of trade evidence of uneconomical transactions designed to “paint down” the HHSE stock price… so it will be quite a karmic moment to watch these guys try to squirm around the conflict about what brilliant stock traders they think they are, reconciled with so much evidence of intentional loss trades.

There’s so much in motion for HHSE right now that it’s very tempting to start releasing the news.  We would love to update shareholders on the financing for Meltdown, Belle Starr, Wildfire and four other films not previously mentioned.  We would love to release news about record-breaking streaming revenues in March and April.  We would love to release news about new suppliers (and “exclusive programming”) for MyFlix…. and so much more.

But instead of immediately jumping up and declaring our wins from the Lotto, we are instead following a path that we feel is ultimately best for our shareholders:  careful and deliberate movements so that the volume and value of HHSE shares and the company can be maximized.

In the meantime – it would be telling to see the results of a bit of buying pressure on the HHSE stock… now that these guys have finally pushed it to less than a penny (and instantly releasing a pre-written brag post to stock chat boards).  What would it take to pop the stock to $.02 immediately?  1-million shares?  2-milion shares?  Maybe even less.  But it seems like even $.02 would be a good base for HHSE as the corporate filings and current activities arguably support a far higher valuation.  Time will tell.  But for now, we have the confident and quiet smile across our faces… because we know we have what is essentially a winning lotto ticket in our HHSE pockets. 

So please don't let the street punks pee on your path.  HHSE is a winning company and the winds of positive momentum will blow that mess back into their faces.  Stay strong, stay safe!
