I have the exact same nagging question...something isn't adding up here...maybe someone with an agenda?
Huge news for the silver market...as this news, confirming what most folks strongly suspected, gets out, investors will likely be asking themselves, "what is the true price of AG?" Good things ahead...

Yes, and if you click "Most Popular" on that page "Exposed" shows up in that category as well!

I haven't had a chance to review it yet myself...looking forward to doing so...
HM
I don't know. I read it to mean Dan was announcing officially via Mass Hysteria in its (Mass Hysteria's) partnership role with Grodnik/Aloe Productions his and Mary Aloe's new positions
in Moon River Studios. Frankly, I, like others, found the PR confusing in that regard and so I sent Dan an email for clarification. Hope to hear back from him.
HM
EXCEPT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MHYS
I don't think your comment is accurate.
As reported:
RINCON, Ga., Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- FONU2, Inc. (OTCQB: FONU) ("FONU2", "Moon River" or "Company") and Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (OTCPK: MHYS) jointly announced today that Daniel Grodnik, Mass Hysteria's CEO, has taken on the additional responsibility as the Head of Film Production for Moon River Studios through Grodnik / Aloe Productions
As reported in previous press release, Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company now has partnered with Aloe Entertainment...It does not say Dan Grodnik has partnered.
HOLLYWOOD, CaA / ACCESSWIRE / March 5, 2015 / Daniel Grodnik's Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (MHYS) announced today it has acquired the film rights to writer, director Cole Claasen's Timothy Hill Ranch, and has partnered with Aloe Entertainment to co-finance and produce.
HM
Sure is. Also, interesting that the much larger male audience gave it a 70% higher rating than the female one.
HM
Yes, the rep from Dish quoted me a price today of $6.99 for regular definition and $7.99 for high definition...should generate some serious revenue IMO.
HM
You bet...It's been a long time since I've been this optimistic about MHYS...Good things coming IMO...
Just contacted Dish Network and confirmed that Heist is on their Pay per View schedule for 11/13. The rep did not know the particular channel but said I could call back further down the road and get it. It's all coming together....
HM
It's been said that Heist is a cross between Speed and Heat. I recently did some calculations based on that statement to provide a possible indicator of how well Heist may do at the box-office.
According to Box Office Mojo, Speed did $350,448,145 in worldwide revenue while Heat did $187,436,818 for an average of $268,942,481.
Making adjustments for the fact that both Speed and Heat were shown in far fewer theaters (an average of 1,936 theatres between the two vs. Heist at reportedly 3,250? theatres) and adjusting for the difference in ticket prices in 1994-1995 vs. today (approx. $4.35 then and approx. $8.50 today) I arrived at a gross revenue figure of $708,125,553. I then deeply discounted (60%) for people being able to see Heist via other less expensive avenues such as VOD and arrived at a figure of $283,250,221.
Of course, there are tons of suppositions in these calculations such as 1) Heist is of the same calibre as Speed and Heat which we can't confirm at this point, 2) other more popular movies don't seriously detract from Heist's revenues etc. but regardless, IMO, I thinks revenue may surprise to the upside in a big way.
Looking forward to seeing if this pans out...
HM
I'm still here checking the board periodically...frustrated with the lack of visible progress but I don't think that is necessarily bad news. I have a longer term view of this company, I don't thing DG is the ogre many here do, and I think ultimately this will prove to be a very profitable investment. It seems that most here have very short term horizons and that can be a recipe for major disappointment when dealing with a company in its development stage. Yes, a singular focus for five years on bringing a new technology to market has put us way behind the 8-ball but that 8-ball IMO is the last ball on the table and is headed for a pocket. IMO the foundation has been laid for a solid revenue stream and this is the time to appreciate how close we are to success.
Finally, I think by the end of the year some posters' views may dramatically change. Time will reveal all in due course...
HM
I don't know as I can't get into his thought processes. That said, I believe he is looking at a long term horizon...with rights to 7+ (?) movies under agreement it would seem to me he is building a substantial base which will snowball over the coming years. A quick look at his advisory board supports this man's standing in the film arena and again, I don't think he would jeopardize those relationships as well as his other professional ones. Is it possible his intent is nefarious? Of course, but I'm betting it is not.
HM
So you really think Dan is going to risk his professional reputation both as a film producer and professor at USC for the last 20 years by associating with scammers? I think not....
HM
Dan has been an oral panelist grading the Master's Thesis in the Stark Producing Program at his alma mater USC for the past 20 years and is also an Adjunct Professor at the Dodge School of Cinema Arts at Chapman University where he teaches a graduate course in producing.
Thanks for sharing...Can't wait to see the movie...
HM
Looking forward to a sustained run and ultimately a long term bonanza with MHYS...just a matter of time.
HM
It looks like the revenues were even higher than that! Go MHYS!!!!!!
HM
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=marvel2014a.htm
I couldn't agree with you more. Just because MHYS is on the pinks now does not mean that they can't become a powerhouse further down the road (3-5 years?) I'll be holding a core position for the longer haul.
HM
I appreciate your feedback given your marketing background however this may shed a little light on the subject. First regarding prices, I am high in my estimate but you are low as well:
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/average-movie-ticket-prices-box-office-1201480602/
Secondly, this article indicates what the WWE did for "Guardians" sales...
http://www.inquisitr.com/1264517/guardians-of-the-galaxy-marvel-disney-banking-on-wwe-and-capcom-for-movies-popularity/
From that article:
"Even for comic book fans, Guardians of the Galaxy is a franchise that may have gone underneath their nerd and geek radar. I know because it went underneath mine. The answer lies in how Guardians of the Galaxy links with other major franchises outside of Marvel."
Specifically,
WWE’s Link To Guardians Of The Galaxy
"If a link to a popular video game company isn’t enough for Marvel, how about the biggest wrestling promotion in the world? Apparently, Marvel does have that established since their upcoming Marvel film is linked to WWE. You might ask how it is and it comes down to one actor: David Bautista. Why? David Bautista – who plays Drax the Destroyer – was originally a wrestler for the WWE… and he recently went back."
Apparently this strategy worked as "Guardian's" sales soared:

No guarantees they can duplicate that success with Bus 657 but my bet is the final tally will be closer to my estimate than yours. Let's wait and see..
HM
$100 million may prove to be way too conservative an estimate IMO. With the WWE boasting 360 million social media followers and if only 5% attend the film, that's 18 million viewers. At an average ticket price of $10 (?) we are at $180 million in gross revenues... And that does not include anyone outside of the WWE!

Does anyone care to venture a realistic PPS prediction in 2-3 years time?
HM
I'm with you, Bali. I think we are starting to see consistency in PRs and even better, in production. Anyone who has ever run a start-up knows the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to be successful...and even then, no guarantees. For me, it boils down to the intent of the parties involved, especially Garrett's. Anyone who believes his motives are suspect, should bail and quit whining about the free choice they made here...does it ever get tiresome listening to these folks. If they combined their efforts and applied them to something constructive and creative, who knows, they may create something of real value.
That said, the old saying, "you can judge a person by the company he/she keeps" may apply here. One of Garrett's contacts, for instance, on Linkedin.com is Greg Bennett. He is on record as supporting Garrett for his (Garrett's) Mining, Construction Management, and Contract Negotiation skills. His information and references can be seen here:
https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=21395572&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=4t94&locale=en_US&srchid=268868981430156630424&srchindex=1&srchtotal=2&trk=vsrp_people_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A268868981430156630424%2CVSRPtargetId%3A21395572%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary%2CVSRPnm%3A
I don't think a guy in his position and with his references would stand behind Garrett if Garrett were the abomination some here believe. Time will tell but, after all these years, my money is still firmly on the Company.

"Dubs"? As in double-digits...$.10 plus?
Yes, picked up some right after the market opened this AM.
HM
If you are referring to me, you are barking up the wrong tree. I've been an investor since 4/2011 and seen the true downside of owning this stock. That said, I believe Dan's new business model will fundamentally transform the prospects for this company and so… I am buying.

Sony Picture's Faith Label AFFIRM Films
Options book ‘The Devil in Pew Number Seven’.
Partners with Mass Hysteria Entertainment
Culver City, CA -- February 27, 2015 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company has partnered with AFFIRM Films, the faith based division of Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions, to develop a motion picture based on the book, "The Devil In Pew Number Seven," which was written by Rebecca Nichols Alonzo with Bob DeMoss. The book was published by Tyndale House in 2010. Daniel Grodnik produces. Michael Gelmon, Christopher Mahne and David Robinson Executive Produce. Steve Armour has been set to write.
The book tells the true story of Rebecca Nichols, who as a child moved with her father to Sellerstown, North Carolina where he served as pastor. There he found a small community eager to welcome him—with one exception. Glaring at him from pew number seven was a man obsessed with controlling the church. Determined to get rid of anyone who stood in his way, he unleashed a plan of terror that was more devastating and violent than the Nichols family could have ever imagined. Refusing to be driven away by acts of intimidation, Rebecca’s father stood his ground until one night when an armed man walked into the family’s kitchen . . . And Rebecca’s life was shattered. If anyone had a reason to harbor hatred and seek personal revenge, it would be Rebecca. Yet The Devil in Pew Number Seven tells a different story. It is the amazing true saga of relentless persecution, one family’s faith and courage in the face of it, and a daughter whose parents taught her the power of forgiveness.
“Rebecca Nichols Alonzo’s story touched our whole team. Her journey through healing and forgiveness recounted in front of thousands of people across the country has proved out how engrossing and engaging it is. We’re looking forward to working with Rebecca, Dan Grodnik and Steve Armour to bring this story to film” said Rich Peluso, SVP of AFFIRM Films.
“The Devil in Pew Number Seven” is a compelling look at the power of love and forgiveness,” said Mass Hysteria CEO Dan Grodnik. “We are excited to begin the creative journey with Steve and Rich Peluso and his AFFIRM Films team."

You're welcome.
The sources I follow in the precious metals sector are predicting an increase in the price of gold to anywhere from $2500 per ounce to $15,000 per ounce. Some of them may be found here:
HMhttp://www.munknee.com/silver-14-price-forecasts-2015-2020-analyst-year/
The big story I'm hearing, as I'm sure you are, is the massive shift of gold and silver stockpiles from the West to the East. It seems the BRICS nations have their sights set on using these hard assets to increase their financial influence globally.
If SNEY can keep its production costs at their current levels, imagine the profit picture that they (and we) may be looking at. YOW!
AIMHO
HM
Garrett responded and confirmed that the parcel "had already been shipped." Looks like SNEY is following through...glad to see it.
HM
No, I have not. I even checked my spam folder to make sure I hadn't missed it. Patiently waiting...
HM
I agree, but the patience of the "old timers" has surely been put through the ringer in the process...
HM
That sounds likely...I've emailed Garrett to get his take...will post his response if I get one.
HM
Happy new year, SNEYers! Here's to a promising 2015!
In carefully re-reading the last press release, there appears to me to be a possible discrepancy.
In the first paragraph it states: "Sunergy, Inc. ("Sunergy" or "the Company") (OTC PINK: SNEY), along with our diamond partners, has successfully delivered the initial diamond shipment to our buyer this week which will generate reportable profit to our Company in 2014.” In the second paragraph it states: "Sunergy's diamond partner has secured the appropriate documents required by the Kimberly Process Certification System/United Nations Resolution for export and has arranged for the delivery of an initial parcel of diamonds to the foreign buyer, as negotiated in recent meetings in New York.”
Any thoughts on this?
HM
Thanks for your analysis...I found it very helpful.
