Blog News: Impressive Technology drives VODWIZ on-boarding process...

With ten (10) indie studio partners committed to the VODWIZ consumer launch next month, the HHSE management is focused on the technical "on-boarding" process for each title. HD files of each movie - including "meta-data" (that drives the listings information and menus), and "closed-caption" options - each take up close to 100-GIGABYTES of storage in the Apple ProRes formats. So what are some of the solutions for on-boarding 2,500 full-length movies requiring (approximately) 250,000 GIGS of storage? For our primary VODwiz supplier partners, we're utilizing 4-Terabyte Drives from Seagate, stacked five to a series inside of Venus 75-C drive towers.

It's surprisingly compact when you realize that one of these little Venus tower units is holding the High-Definition data files for TWO-HUNDRED (200) feature films!

The entire VODwiz library launch titles can be stored onto about twelve of these towers. Now, think back about ten or twelve years ago... remember that COMPAQ or DELL desktop tower that you had? How much memory did those carry... maybe FOUR gigs if you had special media needs? TEN Gigs if you were a geek programmer? Compare yesterday's technology to this little tower (below) that holds TWENTY-THOUSAND Gigabytes of storage!!!

ANYWAY - VODwiz on-boarding is now in full-swing mode... and the consumer launch plans are being assembled. The plan is for a consumer rollout in late August, driving movie audiences to the site once we have tonnage of title availabilities.

UPDATE (Friday, July 18) - we have received some shareholder questions that have gone into far greater detail as to how the streaming logistics work, and how consumers will access files. To be clear, the Seagate Drives (and Venus "towers") are the hardware elements and methodology that HHSE is utilizing to collect all of the features comprising the VODwiz studio files. These files are formatted for NTEK to utilize in uploading to the "Cloud" based storage and delivery systems that are the backbone of the VODwiz delivery (for both the web portal and the IPTV-Roku-compatible channel). The physical delivery of streaming files is not being handled by HHSE or through our corporate offices. However, the movie library for VODwiz that is being assembled through this digital file system will serve as the initial upload "source" as well as the "back-up" files in case there's ever a need to re-access one of the supplier studio's source films.

New Releases in Queue for Q4 Sales Success!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders - while most of our focus the past two weeks (and likely the next four weeks to come!) has been with the operational details supporting the mega-launch of VODwiz... we are still getting inquiries about our core home video business and new releases. Attached are the four primary "DVD" releases for Q4 from Hannover House - not listed are the budget titles, the specialty releases and the Spanish product. Also not listed are the Q4 theatrical releases (and we've got a BIG one in the lead, to be announced soon!).

Studio support for VODwiz is running at 100% - we have obtained titles and library support from every indie-studio label that has been approached. All of these established programming suppliers recognize the absurdity of the current "product bottle-necking" that is happening within the existing VOD portals. The box office hits are available almost everywhere.. but where can consumers find anything else?

The VODwiz site and IPTV channel are looking to have unanimous support from the independent film distribution labels and industry as "the destination site" for a wide variety of films for streaming... NOT "JUST" a handful of hits that most movie consumers have already seen. VODwiz will present a massive catalog of fresh discoveries in independent, esoteric, foreign and art releases. AND WE LAUNCH NEXT MONTH!!!

VODwiz is developing into a major brand portal, to be reckoned with in the same manner as HULU, VUDU, AMAZON, NETFLIX, ITUNES and other sites that have already developed brand identity in the rapidly emerging video-on-demand marketplace.

Meanwhile - because we were asked - here's some highlights for our upcoming home video slate:

HHSE converts master control to 4K Feature Editing Suite!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders - over 20-hours of 35mm footage from Hannover's current production of "SHADOW VISION" has been transferred to 4k digital files and to edit-format compatible files for editing. We've converted part of our upstairs master-control offices into an editing suite for "SHADOW VISION" which will be flipped over to "CLOWN TOWN" and "BELLE STARR" as each of those productions moves into editorial / post-production stages. "MOTHER GOOSE: JOURNEY TO UTOPIA" will have all post production and editing completed with our co-production partner in New Orleans.

Approx. 1/3rd of principal photography for "SHADOW VISION" is now completed. To obtain the desired contrasting "look" for the opening acts of the film as compared to the second and third-acts, the film starts in 35mm and moves into 4k Digital. The 35mm sequences - which take place during a lengthy time-frame during which the process of vision-enhancement is developed by researchers - will have a "film look" from the 35mm process (slightly grainy, greater shadow range, less color saturation). When the research team loses their funding grant (beginning of Act 2), they decide to dramatically increase the strength of their herbal formula, and try it out on themselves. This sets the plot and resolution into motion, and will be shot entirely on 4k original format.

All footage - including the 35mm sequences - will ultimately be transferred to 4k. Key cinema exhibitors - such as Regal Entertainment Group (Regal, United Artists, Edwards Theatres) have the capability of exhibiting from a 4k source element DCP drive. Other theatres will exhibit the film in 2k format, which is also compatible for Blu-Ray. At some point in time - if there's ever a digital or packaged goods format for 4k native programming - Hannover House will be ready with "SHADOW VISION" and other features as we're planning ahead for that possible format rise.

Pictured below is the main control console for the Hannover House Master Control room. The edit monitors (4k Seiki Flat Panels) will replace the studio-calibrated monitors currently on the top shelf. The editing software is Adobe CS6, which outputs an edit list to enable the final element to conform assembly into 4k format. The AVID drives and towers are being replaced by this more popular Adobe edit software.

Yes, those are Herman Miller chairs for our engineers - only the best!

HHSE Blog: Busy.Q4.for.HHS.includes.Major.Theatrical, Video and.VODwiz.Activities!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders. We have received some inquiries about our current THEATRICAL plans and strategy for the coming quarter and year.

As many of you know, Hannover House has not yet experienced any direct success with prior theatrical releases. Movies like RACING DREAMS and TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY may have experienced a nice "bump" in their home video ancillary values after our theatrical release... but the movie TWELVE (with a P&A campaign of almost $2.5-mm!), was a major disaster that added painful debt to the balance sheet and operations. Accordingly, the company has been very hesitant to proceed with theatrical activities, unless a clear path for profitability was present. That said, HHSE is releasing FIVE films to theatres during Q4, each of which has a clear path to profitability from the theatrical exposure.

Here's a quick summary image of these five titles and the release plans as of this date. ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER is a major releasing venture with Redbull Media House, which involves Redbull as financier of the theatrical releasing costs - a strategy that fits their branding goal for a wider theatrical release. BLACK-EYED DOG will have a limited opening (NY, LA and CHI) for awards qualification, before a modest expansion into additional top 40 markets. The foreign language films BORRAR DE LA MEMORIA, ASALTO AL CINE and THE WEATHER STATION have very limited theatrical plans - and very limited financial exposure - so the path to profitability is a short journey for those three specialty releases.

As HHSE moves into 2015 - we will be looking a major openings (over 1,000 theatres) for LEGEND OF BELLE STARR, SHADOW VISION and MOTHER GOOSE: JOURNEY TO UTOPIA all of which will have carefully structured theatrical release patterns tied-into the satisfaction of SVOD and CABLE TV presale agreements. HHSE will open "X" number of screens in "X" number of key markets because such a performance delivers ancillary revenues from SVOD and CABLE that justify the expenditure.

Watch for more news this week on the release venture for ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER.

Q4 will also see the release of EIGHT (8) new titles to DVD and / or Blu-Ray... plus a major consumer outreach for VODwiz - which launches in August, and moves into consumer expansion mode through the next six months!

wrong...staying ON THE SIDELINES (while watching/reading/lurking and hoping to get cheaper shares) is NOT the same as "STAYING AWAY"....just as delays are not equal to lies...how many shareholders does HHSE have? 2000+???

MANY are waiting to POUNCE on HHSE...SMART MONEY who trusts management's numbers have already accumulated on the cheap...won't be paying 10+ cents like the ones on the sidelines will...

to each his own....no one is FORCED to be here...are they??? gun to head???

agree 501%...thus I said 10+ cents/sh

HHSE = 10+ cents/sh....inevitable...true value SHALL be achieved...despite the silly games....

that's just one blog...did you read the blogs about how BUSY they have been...RUNNING THE BUSINESS...increasing titles, making deals, increasing profits???

PRIORITIES, my man...PRIORITIES...

Audit LOOKS BACKWARDS...makes no money for the company...increased revenues/profits come first...

AUDIT/UPLIST coming...all in good time...no rush...it will be dropped when least expected...just the way it should be...

Everything is explained in blogs...some DD is in order...whatever happened to "just drop the audit when ready...we don't want to hear about "progress"...just gives us the AHA moment when task is complete???

Attempting to trivialize a complex audit task of this 20-yr old (NOT a fly by night pink) company doesn't make the task trivial...

all getting done VERY SOON...

yes..."the tactic" is VERY clear on L2...sounds like MORE DD (oops, I mean L2 observation and reporting...lol) is in order...

the interest is definitely there...we saw 3M-5M volume days...the low volume days are just shareholders lurking/waiting/watching the pps suppression tactics and are stealing shares from the game player...surely that's obvious...anyone who has done ANY DD can see this...cat and mouse games...the end is near though...and I don't mean HHSE's end....HHSE is just getting started and is transforming into a future Nasdaq company (the next Lionsgate) right in fron of our eyes...

growing/increasing revenues/profits and income streams...sounds like we have a HUGE backlog of BIG news...lots being accomplished by this transparent and hard-working management team

100% correct, Myth...and ONCE EXPOSED and UNDERSTOOD by ALL, it is rendered INEFFECTIVE...when there is ONLY one factor/force holding pps down, it can be easily overcome and destroyed by the masses...how many shareholders are in HHSE...over 2000???

Classic tactic repeated on HHSE L2 ...1) lower ask by 1 tick...2) slap one's own lowered ask from another account...3)remember to hide more shares behind that fake ask..creates a red pps for the day...mission accomplished...RICO validated???

rinse and repeat...frustrate unsuspecting shareholders...distract and distort the truth...collect their HHSE shares on the bid...place them back on the ask...oh what fun...

CLASSIC puppy games...hiding more shares behind an intentionally lowered (by one tick) 66K ask that doesn't decrease after being slapped, fighting for top bid position to grab shares and automatically/instantaneously placing them back on a lowered ask in order to suppress pps and create resistance, and then pointing out one's "own doing" of inching pps down....too funny...

isn't forcing a pps down on a daily basis the same as PAINTING a chart downwards???? I'm sure someone is taking notice of the silly puppy games

$HHSE = 18 straight qtrs of PROFITABILITY...

$HHSE: Strong retail response to Spanish DVD Label from Hannover House
Dear HHSE Friends & Shareholders - the launch of a Spanish-language video label from Hannover House has been well received by Walmart, Best Buy and Redbox, indicating that the sales forecasts for this product line will need to be adjusted upwards. Originally planned as the "Peliculas Ole'" brand - the new name for the label is now "Peliculas Fantastico" due to trademark and title clearance issues.

First key releases will be the limited theatrical titles "ASALTO AL CINE" and "BORRAR DE LA MEMORIA" with direct-to-video titles comprising multipacks and additional releases. Plan is for two releases per month from this Spanish-language video label, which Hannover House feels is complementary - and not competitive with - the other titles being released by HHSE and affiliate label suppliers for Medallion Releasing.

$HHSE: "The Unwelcome" could be one of the scariest films of the year!

HHSE is pleased to have pacted with Renegade Motion Pictures on the supernatural thriller, "THE UNWELCOME," slated for principal photography in October. We're excited also about the caliber of the film's CAST, which includes a horror-film mega star (who has played a leading role in a major horror franchise that has grossed $331-million at the USA box office!). Watch for more details soon as we announced specific cast members and production details. HHSE is the worldwide distributor of "The Unwelcome," and feels that this title furthers the company's goal of stepping into the major market segment previously occupied by LIONSGATE.

HHSE: Tell us a bit about the Movie Production Process?

Dear HHSE Friends & Shareholders - some questions have been posed recently from shareholders and followers that are unfamiliar with the processes and steps involved in the production of a major motion picture. Unlike a "home movie" where production "starts when you turn on the camcorder," major films enjoy many months (and in the case of "Avatar," many YEARS) of production activity before the cameras start rolling. Most top producers will concur that it's the work that happens BEFORE you start filming that makes the biggest impact on WHAT is filmed and HOW the overall production performs relative to schedule and budget.

HHSE C.E.O., Eric Parkinson, has been directly involved with the production of more than forty (40) feature films and ten (10) TV or made-for-video programs, ranging from micro-budgeted video projects (e.g., "Teen Yoga") to major indie-releases such as the director's special edition cut of "Terminator" in 1991.

We have asked Parkinson to prepare an abbreviated primer of the production process, for posting to this blog. In the blog, he will address the current production status of key titles (see list below) and the stages that each of these are at in the production process. Due to pre-existing work commitments, Parkinson does not anticipate this "production primer" being ready until later this week. But it will be posted, and should contribute to a more informed shareholder base. UPDATE, Monday, July 7th - HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson is in L.A. for meetings until Thursday with Redbox, Netflix, Fox and Freestyle; as time permits, he will address the subject of film production steps, processes and status issues for the benefit of the curious. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST & PATIENCE!

The movie industry is an exciting field, and it attracts a lot of followers. Oftentimes, misinformation is presented by "wanna-be" types that like to present themselves as experts. However, dreaming of being a producer is a far cry from actually BEING a producer... and in this industry, respect is earned from one's body of work, not from one's expert claims. Before you accept misinformation from an "expert," ask him (or her) to validate themselves by disclosing some recent production credits. If they are unable to evidence a body of work, then you can "consider the source" and dismiss accordingly.

$HHSE: AMERICAN JUSTICE - Speed Release Record for HHSE!

Sometimes, all the pieces just come together quickly and perfectly! HHSE screened the action film "American Justice" at the Cannes market on Monday, May 19th. On Tuesday, May 20, we had an "agreement in principal" with the licensor (Paseo Miramar Studios); by early June, a long-form document was fully executed... and by June 30, the entire marketing and release campaigns were completed (including packaging, distributor outreach and initial placement commitments for our top customers).

In forty-two (42) days we went from "nice movie" to "Hannover House release." We're pretty sure that this is a speed-release record for HHSE! Onward & Upward!

$HHSE: An Instant "Halloween-Classic" from Hannover House!

Dear HHSE Friends & Shareholders - we were shocked-and-awed to see the production plans now underway for an impressive project - the scary-as-hell new thriller, "CLOWN TOWN." It didn't take long for Hannover House to structure a deal with the creative team to acquire the worldwide rights to this classic new fright fest. Watch for casting news and updates on this current production!

HHSE: Busy 2-Quarters for HHSE in 2014 so far... much more to come!

Dear HHSE Friends & Shareholders - During the first six months of 2014, HHSE released ten (10) new release DVDs to the retail market... along with the launch of our international sales division and the Lennon Bermuda CD. The last half of the year looks poised for even greater revenues, with strong retail support for AMERICAN JUSTICE and DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC, plus theatrical activity for BLACK-EYED DOG, and three foreign-language titles to theatres. There's another eight video releases as well, but it's still too soon to predict the level of retail response.

SO HERE'S OUR OFFER: The first ten (10) shareholders to email with an address will receive a set of HHSE 2014 video releases at no charge! Just our way of saying "thanks" for your support!

$HHSE: Impressive Technology drives VODWIZ on-boarding process...

With ten (10) indie studio partners committed to the VODWIZ consumer launch next month, the HHSE management is focused on the technical "on-boarding" process for each title. HD files of each movie - including "meta-data" (that drives the listings information and menus), and "closed-caption" options - each take up close to 100-GIGABYTES of storage in the Apple ProRes formats. So what are some of the solutions for on-boarding 2,500 full-length movies requiring (approximately) 250,000 GIGS of storage? For our primary VODwiz supplier partners, we're utilizing 4-Terabyte Drives from Seagate, stacked five to a series inside of Venus 75-C drive towers.

It's surprisingly compact when you realize that one of these little Venus tower units is holding the High-Definition data files for TWO-HUNDRED (200) feature films!

The entire VODwiz library launch titles can be stored onto about twelve of these towers. Now, think back about ten or twelve years ago... remember that COMPAQ or DELL desktop tower that you had? How much memory did those carry... maybe FOUR gigs if you had special media needs? TEN Gigs if you were a geek programmer? Compare yesterday's technology to this little tower (below) that holds TWENTY-THOUSAND Gigabytes of storage!!!

ANYWAY - VODwiz on-boarding is now in full-swing mode... and the consumer launch plans are being assembled. The plan is for a consumer rollout in late August, driving movie audiences to the site once we have tonnage of title availabilities.

UPDATE (Friday, July 18) - we have received some shareholder questions that have gone into far greater detail as to how the streaming logistics work, and how consumers will access files. To be clear, the Seagate Drives (and Venus "towers") are the hardware elements and methodology that HHSE is utilizing to collect all of the features comprising the VODwiz studio files. These files are formatted for NTEK to utilize in uploading to the "Cloud" based storage and delivery systems that are the backbone of the VODwiz delivery (for both the web portal and the IPTV-Roku-compatible channel). The physical delivery of streaming files is not being handled by HHSE or through our corporate offices. However, the movie library for VODwiz that is being assembled through this digital file system will serve as the initial upload "source" as well as the "back-up" files in case there's ever a need to re-access one of the supplier studio's source films.

$HHSE: New Releases in Queue for Q4 Sales Success!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders - while most of our focus the past two weeks (and likely the next four weeks to come!) has been with the operational details supporting the mega-launch of VODwiz... we are still getting inquiries about our core home video business and new releases. Attached are the four primary "DVD" releases for Q4 from Hannover House - not listed are the budget titles, the specialty releases and the Spanish product. Also not listed are the Q4 theatrical releases (and we've got a BIG one in the lead, to be announced soon!).

Studio support for VODwiz is running at 100% - we have obtained titles and library support from every indie-studio label that has been approached. All of these established programming suppliers recognize the absurdity of the current "product bottle-necking" that is happening within the existing VOD portals. The box office hits are available almost everywhere.. but where can consumers find anything else?

The VODwiz site and IPTV channel are looking to have unanimous support from the independent film distribution labels and industry as "the destination site" for a wide variety of films for streaming... NOT "JUST" a handful of hits that most movie consumers have already seen. VODwiz will present a massive catalog of fresh discoveries in independent, esoteric, foreign and art releases. AND WE LAUNCH NEXT MONTH!!!

VODwiz is developing into a major brand portal, to be reckoned with in the same manner as HULU, VUDU, AMAZON, NETFLIX, ITUNES and other sites that have already developed brand identity in the rapidly emerging video-on-demand marketplace.

Meanwhile - because we were asked - here's some highlights for our upcoming home video slate:

$HHSE converts master control to 4K Feature Editing Suite!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders - over 20-hours of 35mm footage from Hannover's current production of "SHADOW VISION" has been transferred to 4k digital files and to edit-format compatible files for editing. We've converted part of our upstairs master-control offices into an editing suite for "SHADOW VISION" which will be flipped over to "CLOWN TOWN" and "BELLE STARR" as each of those productions moves into editorial / post-production stages. "MOTHER GOOSE: JOURNEY TO UTOPIA" will have all post production and editing completed with our co-production partner in New Orleans.

Approx. 1/3rd of principal photography for "SHADOW VISION" is now completed. To obtain the desired contrasting "look" for the opening acts of the film as compared to the second and third-acts, the film starts in 35mm and moves into 4k Digital. The 35mm sequences - which take place during a lengthy time-frame during which the process of vision-enhancement is developed by researchers - will have a "film look" from the 35mm process (slightly grainy, greater shadow range, less color saturation). When the research team loses their funding grant (beginning of Act 2), they decide to dramatically increase the strength of their herbal formula, and try it out on themselves. This sets the plot and resolution into motion, and will be shot entirely on 4k original format.

All footage - including the 35mm sequences - will ultimately be transferred to 4k. Key cinema exhibitors - such as Regal Entertainment Group (Regal, United Artists, Edwards Theatres) have the capability of exhibiting from a 4k source element DCP drive. Other theatres will exhibit the film in 2k format, which is also compatible for Blu-Ray. At some point in time - if there's ever a digital or packaged goods format for 4k native programming - Hannover House will be ready with "SHADOW VISION" and other features as we're planning ahead for that possible format rise.

$HHSE Blog: Busy.Q4.for.HHS.includes.Major.Theatrical, Video and.VODwiz.Activities!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders. We have received some inquiries about our current THEATRICAL plans and strategy for the coming quarter and year.

As many of you know, Hannover House has not yet experienced any direct success with prior theatrical releases. Movies like RACING DREAMS and TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY may have experienced a nice "bump" in their home video ancillary values after our theatrical release... but the movie TWELVE (with a P&A campaign of almost $2.5-mm!), was a major disaster that added painful debt to the balance sheet and operations. Accordingly, the company has been very hesitant to proceed with theatrical activities, unless a clear path for profitability was present. That said, HHSE is releasing FIVE films to theatres during Q4, each of which has a clear path to profitability from the theatrical exposure.

Here's a quick summary image of these five titles and the release plans as of this date. ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER is a major releasing venture with Redbull Media House, which involves Redbull as financier of the theatrical releasing costs - a strategy that fits their branding goal for a wider theatrical release. BLACK-EYED DOG will have a limited opening (NY, LA and CHI) for awards qualification, before a modest expansion into additional top 40 markets. The foreign language films BORRAR DE LA MEMORIA, ASALTO AL CINE and THE WEATHER STATION have very limited theatrical plans - and very limited financial exposure - so the path to profitability is a short journey for those three specialty releases.

As HHSE moves into 2015 - we will be looking a major openings (over 1,000 theatres) for LEGEND OF BELLE STARR, SHADOW VISION and MOTHER GOOSE: JOURNEY TO UTOPIA all of which will have carefully structured theatrical release patterns tied-into the satisfaction of SVOD and CABLE TV presale agreements. HHSE will open "X" number of screens in "X" number of key markets because such a performance delivers ancillary revenues from SVOD and CABLE that justify the expenditure.

Watch for more news this week on the release venture for ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER.

Q4 will also see the release of EIGHT (8) new titles to DVD and / or Blu-Ray... plus a major consumer outreach for VODwiz - which launches in August, and moves into consumer expansion mode through the next six months!

Is it 17 or 18 STRAIGHT PROFITABLE QTRS for HHSE now? Lost count...Explosive pps correction SHALL COME...10+ cents is a GIVEN...

HHSE Investor Relations Blog: www.hannoverhousemovies.blogspot.com/

Another base-hit for HHSE ..It's always interesting in the home video distribution business to see the titles that our key (mass merchant and chain) buyers respond to. In order to get the consumer to buy our videos, we must first persuade the retailers to put it onto the shelves... so it's challenging to come up with the right art and concepts to beat out ALL of the other indie film competition in a given release window that are competing for that limited shelf or kiosk space. Today's "base-hit" (looks like a double actually!) is POSSESSION: THE INGLODA WITHIN. This title has gone through some name changes, but this is the final version that hit the hot button with the majority of our key accounts! Onward & Upward for HHSE!

HHSE's "Dinosaurs of the Jurassic" - 3D Lenticular Box for Q4 HOLIDAYS!
Word Just In: The 2014 Hannover House production of "DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC" will hit major retail shelves on December 9th in a special Collector's Edition 3D Lenticular Box! The dinosaurs on the packaging can be seen in 3-D, with partial motion as the box is turned from left to right. This item, priced at $12.96 "everyday low price" - and on special for as low as $9.96 - will be an ideal holiday stocking stuffer for kids of all ages. We're pretty jazzed! That's not all, next summer (2015), the title will be ideally positioned for re-release in the wake of the new Amblin Ent., / Spielberg release of "Jurassic World."

Many more titles... including national theatrical releases!
Good morning HHSE Friends & Shareholders - we received some questions over the press release on Friday which listed some of the 30+ new release titles coming soon on the Hannover House label. All of the questions were title specific and about titles that were not included in that particular press release (including, "The Lion Prince", "Reach", "Bobby Dogs" and multipack assortments). These titles - and many others - are still on the HHSE slate of upcoming new releases... even though not every title was listed on Friday's recap summary. The press release said that new release titles from Hannover House "include".... and then it went on to list about 30-titles. The use of the word "include" was not meant to suggest "... and limited to..." when quite the opposite is true.

The release slates firm up as each target month get closer - and as retail conditions appear most optimal. For instance, a previous discussion to release "REACH" in November was suggested to be delayed until Spring, '2015, to coordinate with a promotional opportunity with the American Cancer Society. In another instance ("The Lion Prince"), that item's release date is being driven by the schedule availabilities of the principal talent, lending their voices to this impressive African Wilderness classic.

BAM! Exclusive.Poster.Launch.on.FANDANGO.for "On.Any.Sunday: The.Next.Chapter"
Congrats to our friends and colleagues at Red Bull Media House - as well as to Dana and Bruce Brown - on today's exclusive POSTER PREMIERE for "On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter" on FANDANGO.

We are looking forward to a major, USA National Theatrical Release on Oct. 24, 2014!

Tell us a bit about the Movie Production Process?

Dear HHSE Friends & Shareholders - some questions have been posed recently from shareholders and followers that are unfamiliar with the processes and steps involved in the production of a major motion picture. Unlike a "home movie" where production "starts when you turn on the camcorder," major films enjoy many months (and in the case of "Avatar," many YEARS) of production activity before the cameras start rolling. Most top producers will concur that it's the work that happens BEFORE you start filming that makes the biggest impact on WHAT is filmed and HOW the overall production performs relative to schedule and budget.

HHSE C.E.O., Eric Parkinson, has been directly involved with the production of more than forty (40) feature films and ten (10) TV or made-for-video programs, ranging from micro-budgeted video projects (e.g., "Teen Yoga") to major indie-releases such as the director's special edition cut of "Terminator" in 1991.

We have asked Parkinson to prepare an abbreviated primer of the production process, for posting to this blog. In the blog, he will address the current production status of key titles (see list below) and the stages that each of these are at in the production process. Due to pre-existing work commitments, Parkinson does not anticipate this "production primer" being ready until later this week. But it will be posted, and should contribute to a more informed shareholder base. UPDATE, Monday, July 7th - HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson is in L.A. for meetings until Thursday with Redbox, Netflix, Fox and Freestyle; as time permits, he will address the subject of film production steps, processes and status issues for the benefit of the curious. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST & PATIENCE!

The movie industry is an exciting field, and it attracts a lot of followers. Oftentimes, misinformation is presented by "wanna-be" types that like to present themselves as experts. However, dreaming of being a producer is a far cry from actually BEING a producer... and in this industry, respect is earned from one's body of work, not from one's expert claims. Before you accept misinformation from an "expert," ask him (or her) to validate themselves by disclosing some recent production credits. If they are unable to evidence a body of work, then you can "consider the source" and dismiss accordingly.

AMERICAN JUSTICE - Speed Release Record for HHSE!

Sometimes, all the pieces just come together quickly and perfectly! HHSE screened the action film "American Justice" at the Cannes market on Monday, May 19th. On Tuesday, May 20, we had an "agreement in principal" with the licensor (Paseo Miramar Studios); by early June, a long-form document was fully executed... and by June 30, the entire marketing and release campaigns were completed (including packaging, distributor outreach and initial placement commitments for our top customers).

In forty-two (42) days we went from "nice movie" to "Hannover House release." We're pretty sure that this is a speed-release record for HHSE! Onward & Upward!

An Instant "Halloween-Classic" from Hannover House!

Dear HHSE Friends & Shareholders - we were shocked-and-awed to see the production plans now underway for an impressive project - the scary-as-hell new thriller, "CLOWN TOWN." It didn't take long for Hannover House to structure a deal with the creative team to acquire the worldwide rights to this classic new fright fest. Watch for casting news and updates on this current production!

Busy 2-Quarters for HHSE in 2014 so far... much more to come!
Dear HHSE Friends & Shareholders - During the first six months of 2014, HHSE released ten (10) new release DVDs to the retail market... along with the launch of our international sales division and the Lennon Bermuda CD. The last half of the year looks poised for even greater revenues, with strong retail support for AMERICAN JUSTICE and DINOSAURS OF THE JURASSIC, plus theatrical activity for BLACK-EYED DOG, and three foreign-language titles to theatres. There's another eight video releases as well, but it's still too soon to predict the level of retail response.

SO HERE'S OUR OFFER: The first ten (10) shareholders to email with an address will receive a set of HHSE 2014 video releases at no charge! Just our way of saying "thanks" for your support!

Please send your email request to: Leigha@HannoverHouse.com

Impressive Technology drives VODWIZ on-boarding process...

With ten (10) indie studio partners committed to the VODWIZ consumer launch next month, the HHSE management is focused on the technical "on-boarding" process for each title. HD files of each movie - including "meta-data" (that drives the listings information and menus), and "closed-caption" options - each take up close to 100-GIGABYTES of storage in the Apple ProRes formats. So what are some of the solutions for on-boarding 2,500 full-length movies requiring (approximately) 250,000 GIGS of storage? For our primary VODwiz supplier partners, we're utilizing 4-Terabyte Drives from Seagate, stacked five to a series inside of Venus 75-C drive towers.

It's surprisingly compact when you realize that one of these little Venus tower units is holding the High-Definition data files for TWO-HUNDRED (200) feature films!

The entire VODwiz library launch titles can be stored onto about twelve of these towers. Now, think back about ten or twelve years ago... remember that COMPAQ or DELL desktop tower that you had? How much memory did those carry... maybe FOUR gigs if you had special media needs? TEN Gigs if you were a geek programmer? Compare yesterday's technology to this little tower (below) that holds TWENTY-THOUSAND Gigabytes of storage!!!

ANYWAY - VODwiz on-boarding is now in full-swing mode... and the consumer launch plans are being assembled. The plan is for a consumer rollout in late August, driving movie audiences to the site once we have tonnage of title availabilities.

UPDATE (Friday, July 18) - we have received some shareholder questions that have gone into far greater detail as to how the streaming logistics work, and how consumers will access files. To be clear, the Seagate Drives (and Venus "towers") are the hardware elements and methodology that HHSE is utilizing to collect all of the features comprising the VODwiz studio files. These files are formatted for NTEK to utilize in uploading to the "Cloud" based storage and delivery systems that are the backbone of the VODwiz delivery (for both the web portal and the IPTV-Roku-compatible channel). The physical delivery of streaming files is not being handled by HHSE or through our corporate offices. However, the movie library for VODwiz that is being assembled through this digital file system will serve as the initial upload "source" as well as the "back-up" files in case there's ever a need to re-access one of the supplier studio's source films.

New Releases in Queue for Q4 Sales Success!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders - while most of our focus the past two weeks (and likely the next four weeks to come!) has been with the operational details supporting the mega-launch of VODwiz... we are still getting inquiries about our core home video business and new releases. Attached are the four primary "DVD" releases for Q4 from Hannover House - not listed are the budget titles, the specialty releases and the Spanish product. Also not listed are the Q4 theatrical releases (and we've got a BIG one in the lead, to be announced soon!).

Studio support for VODwiz is running at 100% - we have obtained titles and library support from every indie-studio label that has been approached. All of these established programming suppliers recognize the absurdity of the current "product bottle-necking" that is happening within the existing VOD portals. The box office hits are available almost everywhere.. but where can consumers find anything else?

The VODwiz site and IPTV channel are looking to have unanimous support from the independent film distribution labels and industry as "the destination site" for a wide variety of films for streaming... NOT "JUST" a handful of hits that most movie consumers have already seen. VODwiz will present a massive catalog of fresh discoveries in independent, esoteric, foreign and art releases. AND WE LAUNCH NEXT MONTH!!!

VODwiz is developing into a major brand portal, to be reckoned with in the same manner as HULU, VUDU, AMAZON, NETFLIX, ITUNES and other sites that have already developed brand identity in the rapidly emerging video-on-demand marketplace.

Meanwhile - because we were asked - here's some highlights for our upcoming home video slate:
