MERGER: Initial $65,000,000 in Production and Distribution Financing

The merger – which has been contemplated as a stock-for-stock swap, with Hannover House, Inc. shareholders collectively maintaining a majority stock interest and control – is a key structural element to accommodate the placement of an initial $65-mm in production and distribution financing arranged for by the merger partner. The Company and merger partner anticipate that the merger shall become effective following certain regulatory compliances and the remittance of specified payments to Company – both of which events are anticipated to be resolved on or before April 14, 2017.

Initial. So, there may more than $65 Million coming to HHSE. We do not know how much of the $65,000,000 Payment was remitted. But, the issues were resolved. So, HHSE was given the Initial Payment.

10-K: HHSE Intrinsic Value $.038; True/Fair Value $.10+









Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Investment in the Company's Stock Shares bears significant risks, as well as significant upside potential. The "Price-Earnings Ratio" for publicly-traded entertainment stocks in the Company's area of activity results in an average P/E rate of 22-times. The current P/E ratio for Company's (Hannover House's) is about 4.1, based on an annualized projection of the current reporting period. If the Company’s stock were trading consistent with the pricing for this industry sector, it would be trading for approx.. $.038 per share, approximately 3-X current price pricing per share. This Industry P/E price, while 3-X greater than current PPS, also does not take into account the prospective value of the Company’s activities towards the launch of the VODWIZ streaming portal or the forthcoming major motion picture production of “Mother Goose: Journey To Utopia” which many entertainment stock experts have relayed to management as supporting their belief that the PPS could support a price in excess of $.10 per share.

BLOG: MERGER UPDATE; Beginning of Something Truly Significant…









Monday, April 17, 2017

The beginning of something truly significant…

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
– George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

For fifteen of the twenty-three years that Hannover House has been operating, the company has been involved with the acquisition and release of movies and television programs onto DVD and other home media platforms. Since that time, the company has released or represented over three-hundred-fifty (350) titles, ranging from significant sell-thru hits, to specialty home videos for targeted audiences. At last count, the company had sold a total of over 34-million home video units to retailers in North America (primarily DVD, but some on the BluRay format and in the early years of Hannover’s home video distribution, some were sold on the VHS cassette format).

Not every title acquired and released by Hannover House to the domestic home video market these past 15-years has been a financial success for the company. The biggest failure of expenditures-compared-to-revenues was the 2005 release of “Off The Lip” – which, despite a theatrical release expenditure of more than $350,000, did not manage to inspire a single one of the nation’s top mass merchants for home video placement. Fortunately, the loss with “Off The Lip” occurred at the same time when Hannover House had seven (7) of the top ten (10) best-selling indie video titles at Walmart – when we were literally selling-thru to consumers over 100,000 units per week through Walmart nationwide. So that initial theatrical release endeavor was expensive, but not deadly. And a valuable lesson was learnt: opening movies at theatres only helps the retail home video response if the movie actually DESERVED (commercially) to have been released to theatres.

As Hannover released more titles to the home video market, trends began to emerge, even as the market itself was maturing and evolving. By 2008, when Walmart, Target and Best Buy started aggressive merchandising of the (then) new BluRay format, the shelf space was usually reallocated away from independent DVD titles, and migrated for use in displaying BluRay units of major studio releases. That was a big loss for all indie distributors – and making our second-tier titles “available on BluRay” did not pick-up the slack. By 2010, certain genres of home videos for indies studios were drying up or functionally non-starters: “no-name comedies”, “dramas” and “special interest subjects” could no longer be placed at the big-box retailers due to sluggish retail turns. The major studio theatrical releases were holding their home video sales volume, but at the expense of diminishing shelf space and placement frequency for the indie distributors.

It was about that time (late ‘2009 / early ‘2010) that Hannover House was offered the opportunity to “reverse-merge” with Target Development Group, Inc. and become a publicly-traded company. This was not a desired goal for either Eric Parkinson or Fred Shefte. But the TDGI venture came with an attractive investment-banking arrangement with Bedrock Ventures: in consideration of the merger, Bedrock would place $1.5-mm as a direct stock purchase agreement, and would separately fund loans of $500,000 towards acquisitions and $300,000 towards P&A (theatrical releasing costs).

Energized with these funding commitments in hand… and motivated by a positive thumbs-up from several of the industry’s top consultants… Hannover House took the leap-of-faith and decided to try for a mid-level, nationwide theatrical release. In January, 2010, Hannover House surprised the industry by beating out SONY, FOX and LIONSGATE at the Sundance Film Festival for the acquisition of director Joel Schumacher’s teen-angst thriller, “TWELVE.” The cost was high: $1.75-mm plus a theatrical release commitment to open on not less than 200 theatres simultaneously. But the upside seemed greater, and after all, the funding had been secured (or so we thought). While Bedrock did, indeed, fund the $500,000 as a loan for the down-payment for rights to “TWELVE” (and later, funded $300,000 of the $2-million+ spent on theatrical releasing costs), their original agreement to fund $1.5-mm as a direct stock purchase never occurred.

With only a few weeks to go before “TWELVE” hit theatres on August 6, 2010, Hannover House was in full-scramble mode, working diligently to try to secure vendor credit, private loans, and ancillary sales advances to help cover the theatrical costs. We went from being a reliable (but small) indie distributor, to being full time managerial firemen, moving from one emergency flash outbreak to the next. The release of “TWELVE” suffered, the relationship with Bedrock tanked, and the company was put into full scramble mode for months thereafter.

Over the next six years that followed – the history of Hannover House has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride, for both management and shareholders. High moments – such as a multi-million-dollar sponsorship from SEA WORLD in 2011 (for “Turtle: The Incredible Journey”) were met with humiliating lows, such as the principal cast’s refusal to attend the red-carpet premiere of “All’s Faire In Love,” in New York City (also in 2011). In each of the successive five years, Hannover House has overcome significant obstacles, and met with welcomed successes, only to face financial challenges and legal struggles. Finally, when the most notable events in 2016 were the bankruptcy or closure of the company’s top two wholesalers, it became clear to management that it was time to look at a whole new business model: one that meets and leads the dynamic edge of the industry, rather than seeks out the occasional crumbs from the trailing tail.

In order to build a better company, it is essential that HHSE managers and shareholders take a high-altitude look at the trends in the industry to best determine the direction in which the consumer market for entertainment is moving. Skipping over the volumes of industry research, sales trends and analytical studies to reach the consensus bottom-line conclusions, we see Ten Essential Trends:

1) DTV - “Direct-to-Video” programming is rapidly declining in retail value in the North American retail marketplace;

2) RENTAL – Except for Redbox Kiosks, Family Video and a handful of stubborn independent video specialty stores, there is functionally no more retail “rental” home video market in the USA;

3) VOD - “Video-On-Demand” continues to grow, but disproportionately in favor of theatrical titles; VOD is the new “rental experience” for the emerging generation of consumers;

4) SVOD - “Subscription V.O.D.” license fees are dropping precipitously as Netflix now favors major theatrical hits or their own programming over independent or non-theatrical titles;

5) INTL - Key International Markets are booming for specific film genres: Action, Sci-Fi and Horror; but low-budget, no-stars or non-theatrical titles are functionally impossible to sell today;

6) PRODUCTIONS – Due to the availability of significant international pre-sales for selected programming, as well as State and Federal tax and rebate incentives, there is a viable business model that includes the facilitation or physical production of films as a revenue source;

7) DISTRIBUTION PACTS – As the retail market shifts away from independent titles – in favor of Major Studio titles – the value of a major studio partner has grown exponentially… both for domestic release, but more crucially for international territories;

8) WHAT ARE CONSUMERS, INTL. BUYERS & RETAILERS RESPONDING TO?
a) High-Concept Films – action, science-fiction, horror, family-appeal;
b) Films with one or more “name” stars; Films shot in "original language" English;
c) Films with wide theatrical visibility, momentum and credibility;

9) WHAT ARE CONSUMERS, INTL BUYERS & RETAILERS NOT RESPONDING TO?
a) Low-Budgeted releases, without stars or theatrical visibility;
b) Comedies & Dramas are dead genres, unless driven by credible stars in lead roles;
c) Micro-budget production values that do not compare to mainstream quality expectations;

10) BALANCED RELEASE SLATE – There is an economy of scale for a distributor in the current marketplace to release ONE (1) “major” theatrical title per quarter, plus ONE (1) “mid-level” theatrical title per month, and supplement these with one or two third-party acquired titles that still are essentially “direct-to-video” or V.O.D., but are now supplemental revenues (rather than the company’s primary cash-flow source).


*******************************************************************

WHERE ARE WE NOW - WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE?

Last Month, on March 10 specifically, Hannover House managers signed a letter-of-intent to join with another publicly-traded company, two private companies and a major studio distribution partner, to create a new structure that addresses each of the Ten Essential Trends described above, and which we feel will bring substantial value to our shareholders.

Over these past five weeks, the legal, operational and structural changes that are required to effectively launch such an ambitious merger have been in motion. The two privately held companies will join with the two publicly-traded companies into an overall venture that is fully reporting, fully registered, and sufficiently funded to allow for a realistic pursuit of a NASDAQ listing. This venture involves the placement of approximately sixty-five million dollars (USD $65,000,000) from pre-existing international presales and feature film private investor commitments, and will provide us with both the high-end “major” titles as well as the first two-years of the “mid-level” theatrical titles. Due to availability of State and Federal incentives and rebates on the productions, the company will also be well funded with theatrical releasing resources – as well as earning lucrative production company service fees upfront. A major studio partner will handle most of the domestic home video and V.O.D. activities (excluding VODWIZ.TV) as well as international sales through their existing distribution units in over 100 territories worldwide.

Upon regulatory approval, existing Hannover House shareholders will receive a significant premium-to-market redemption, and overall, the Hannover House shareholders will retain a majority control in the combined entities.

Over the next few days, details of the venture partners will be released through mutual public announcements. As the merger L.O.I. contains performance triggers (including specific funding requirements and regulatory approvals), Hannover House has honored the temporary, proprietary confidences imposed on all parties - as is customary for a venture that involves four separate companies and a major studio distribution partner.

For the principal venture parties involved in this new structure, we all feel that this is a marriage in which the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The consensus is that this is the “launch moment” for a truly significant entertainment company… and a move that will bring substantial value to all of our shareholders.

We wish to thank the company’s many patient, “long” shareholders, and we are excited that you will be rewarded for your loyalty and support as we have navigated a winning plan in this evolving media sector. The new management team includes some of the industry’s most respected and successful executives, and our future as a successful, independent studio and media distributor is bright. Watch for updates on this BLOG, including advance notification of Form 8 Information Statement Filings.

*****************************************************************************

LAST - BUT NOT LEAST - Watch for the Hannover House - CMC Pictures / Crimson Forest Release of "SHOCKWAVE" to key theatres in the USA and Canada on Friday, April 28 - with a simultaneous release across China. This is a specialty release for the North American market (Mandarin with English-subtitles), to reach this responsive and targeted audience.

The beginning of something truly significant…

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
– George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

For fifteen of the twenty-three years that Hannover House has been operating, the company has been involved with the acquisition and release of movies and television programs onto DVD and other home media platforms. Since that time, the company has released or represented over three-hundred-fifty (350) titles, ranging from significant sell-thru hits, to specialty home videos for targeted audiences.

Over the next six years that followed – the history of Hannover House has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride, for both management and shareholders. High moments – such as a multi-million-dollar sponsorship from SEA WORLD in 2011 (for “Turtle: The Incredible Journey”) were met with humiliating lows, such as the principal cast’s refusal to attend the red-carpet premiere of “All’s Faire In Love,” in New York City (also in 2011). In each of the successive five years, Hannover House has overcome significant obstacles, and met with welcomed successes, only to face financial challenges and legal struggles. Finally, when the most notable events in 2016 were the bankruptcy or closure of the company’s top two wholesalers, it became clear to management that it was time to look at a whole new business model: one that meets and leads the dynamic edge of the industry, rather than seeks out the occasional crumbs from the trailing tail.

In order to build a better company, it is essential that HHSE managers and shareholders take a high-altitude look at the trends in the industry to best determine the direction in which the consumer market for entertainment is moving. Skipping over the volumes of industry research, sales trends and analytical studies to reach the consensus bottom-line conclusions, we see Ten Essential Trends:

1) DTV - “Direct-to-Video” programming is rapidly declining in retail value in the North American retail marketplace;

2) RENTAL – Except for Redbox Kiosks, Family Video and a handful of stubborn independent video specialty stores, there is functionally no more retail “rental” home video market in the USA;

3) VOD - “Video-On-Demand” continues to grow, but disproportionately in favor of theatrical titles; VOD is the new “rental experience” for the emerging generation of consumers;

4) SVOD - “Subscription V.O.D.” license fees are dropping precipitously as Netflix now favors major theatrical hits or their own programming over independent or non-theatrical titles;

5) INTL - Key International Markets are booming for specific film genres: Action, Sci-Fi and Horror; but low-budget, no-stars or non-theatrical titles are functionally impossible to sell today;

6) PRODUCTIONS – Due to the availability of significant international pre-sales for selected programming, as well as State and Federal tax and rebate incentives, there is a viable business model that includes the facilitation or physical production of films as a revenue source;

7) DISTRIBUTION PACTS – As the retail market shifts away from independent titles – in favor of Major Studio titles – the value of a major studio partner has grown exponentially… both for domestic release, but more crucially for international territories;

8) WHAT ARE CONSUMERS, INTL. BUYERS & RETAILERS RESPONDING TO?
a) High-Concept Films – action, science-fiction, horror, family-appeal;
b) Films with one or more “name” stars; Films shot in "original language" English;
c) Films with wide theatrical visibility, momentum and credibility;

9) WHAT ARE CONSUMERS, INTL BUYERS & RETAILERS NOT RESPONDING TO?
a) Low-Budgeted releases, without stars or theatrical visibility;
b) Comedies & Dramas are dead genres, unless driven by credible stars in lead roles;
c) Micro-budget production values that do not compare to mainstream quality expectations;

10) BALANCED RELEASE SLATE – There is an economy of scale for a distributor in the current marketplace to release ONE (1) “major” theatrical title per quarter, plus ONE (1) “mid-level” theatrical title per month, and supplement these with one or two third-party acquired titles that still are essentially “direct-to-video” or V.O.D., but are now supplemental revenues (rather than the company’s primary cash-flow source).


*******************************************************************

WHERE ARE WE NOW - WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE?

Last Month, on March 10 specifically, Hannover House managers signed a letter-of-intent to join with another publicly-traded company, two private companies and a major studio distribution partner, to create a new structure that addresses each of the Ten Essential Trends described above, and which we feel will bring substantial value to our shareholders.

Over these past five weeks, the legal, operational and structural changes that are required to effectively launch such an ambitious merger have been in motion. The two privately held companies will join with the two publicly-traded companies into an overall venture that is fully reporting, fully registered, and sufficiently funded to allow for a realistic pursuit of a NASDAQ listing. This venture involves the placement of approximately sixty-five million dollars (USD $65,000,000) from pre-existing international presales and feature film private investor commitments, and will provide us with both the high-end “major” titles as well as the first two-years of the “mid-level” theatrical titles. Due to availability of State and Federal incentives and rebates on the productions, the company will also be well funded with theatrical releasing resources – as well as earning lucrative production company service fees upfront. A major studio partner will handle most of the domestic home video and V.O.D. activities (excluding VODWIZ.TV) as well as international sales through their existing distribution units in over 100 territories worldwide.

Upon regulatory approval, existing Hannover House shareholders will receive a significant premium-to-market redemption, and overall, the Hannover House shareholders will retain a majority control in the combined entities.

Over the next few days, details of the venture partners will be released through mutual public announcements. As the merger L.O.I. contains performance triggers (including specific funding requirements and regulatory approvals), Hannover House has honored the temporary, proprietary confidences imposed on all parties - as is customary for a venture that involves four separate companies and a major studio distribution partner.

For the principal venture parties involved in this new structure, we all feel that this is a marriage in which the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The consensus is that this is the “launch moment” for a truly significant entertainment company… and a move that will bring substantial value to all of our shareholders.

We wish to thank the company’s many patient, “long” shareholders, and we are excited that you will be rewarded for your loyalty and support as we have navigated a winning plan in this evolving media sector. The new management team includes some of the industry’s most respected and successful executives, and our future as a successful, independent studio and media distributor is bright. Watch for updates on this BLOG, including advance notification of Form 8 Information Statement Filings.

*****************************************************************************

LAST - BUT NOT LEAST - Watch for the Hannover House - CMC Pictures / Crimson Forest Release of "SHOCKWAVE" to key theatres in the USA and Canada on Friday, April 28 - with a simultaneous release across China. This is a specialty release for the North American market (Mandarin with English-subtitles), to reach this responsive and targeted audience.

More key trade coverage from Hong Kong FilMart...

Congratulations to STARRY ENTERTAINMENT (Shenzen) and CRIMSON FOREST - two emerging principal venture partners for Hannover House - on an impressive announcement and resulting coverage from the Hong Kong FilMart yesterday.

HOME FILM ASIA


FilMart: Ambitious Starry Entertainment Launch Defies China Slowdown

Shirley Lau



MARCH 15, 2017


A whopping 19 projects spanning across films, TV series, animations, VR and more are in the pipeline for Starry Entertainment, a newly established Chinese studio with a startup capital of $29 million (RMB200 million) and a financial capacity of $100 million.

Highest profile among the 19 is the $30 million “Hero’s Journey to the West,” an animated version of the classic Chinese tale “Journey to the West” featuring the famous Monkey King character. Starry has enlisted former Disney animator Chris Bradley as director and Marvel Studio character designer Walter A. McDaniel as the art director. A-list Hollywood stars are being scouted as voice talent for the English version of the film, scheduled for release during the Lunar New Year of 2019.

Starry also recently acquired McDaniel’s Beijing-based media company Red Dragon, according to Jon Chiew, former head of global business at Huace Films and now Starry’s COO and Hong Kong branch CEO.

Headquartered in Shenzhen with offices in both Hong Kong and Beijing, Starry Entertainment unveiled at FilMart on Wednesday an ambitious plan to pool a variety of resources across the show business spectrum to create a “one-stop shop” offering a wide spectrum of entertainment products.

The principal investor of the company, which has six subsidiaries, is Guotai Junan Securities, a Chinese securities companies founded in 1992. The two companies have signed an initial public offering memorandum as Starry Entertainment’s first step toward its goal to be a publicly listed company in mainland China within five years.

“We will create and develop content. And we will find partners and distributors, and also a lot of my friends want to invest, sometimes in the company and sometimes in individual projects,” said Chiew.

Starry has formed a partnership with the U.S. distributor and investor Crimson Forest for international releases of its productions.

Another film project is “Asia Pacific Elimination Service”, a story about some retired action film actors, starring Thai martial artist and actor Tony Jaa and Taiwanese-American actor David Wu. It will be produced on a budget of $12 million, with production expected to begin by the end of 2017.

Other projects include “Crystal Panda,” an animation movie targeting children, and a 36-episode detective TV series.

The establishment of the new studio comes at a time when box office takings in China have slowed markedly. But Starry’s official launch during Hong Kong’s FilMart had a distinctly bullish feel. With some 200 people in the room, it took over the ballroom at the Grand Hyatt hotel, it boasted glossy corporate vides, organizational charts and on-stage interviews with talent from a selection of the upcoming projects.

BLOG-3/1: $10,000,000 Funding For Major Feature: "MELTDOWN"











Wednesday, March 1, 2017

HHSE Pursues $10-MM Funding Opportunity for Major Feature: MELTDOWN

Hannover House is pleased to announce that it has entered into a financing venture with a private investor group for the raising of $10-mm to cover the production of "MELTDOWN" - a major action-adventure feature expected to have three major stars. The structure of this financing is not based in any way with an issues of shares in HHSE, none of which will be issued - but purely as an investment in a particular feature film project that will be distributed by HHSE.

Production on "MELTDOWN" is scheduled to commence in September, in Arkansas, not only due to appropriateness of setting and specific locations, but also to provide access to the three economic incentives offered to qualifying film projects by the State of Arkansas. "MELTDOWN" is one of four major event titles that HHSE feels will drive the revenues and profile of the company up to a Major Independent Status. As key actor agreements are finalized, principal cast members will be announced.










MELTDOWN SUMMARY:

MARK BRIDGES is a highly skilled U.S. Army Special Forces expert who returns to Arkansas after serving multiple tours of duty in Afghanistan. But his homecoming is less than cordial. His wife, CHASE, expresses her anger that he chose the Army over his family, and she tells him that their marriage may be irreparable after more than a dozen years apart.

Unable to find employment that meet his very specific skill sets – and needing a job to begin the process of slowly winning back his wife's trust – Bridges reluctantly accepts a job as a vending machine replenishment driver (for Little Debbie’s Pastries), handling a delivery route working out of his hometown of Russelville, Arkansas.

On an otherwise uneventful morning, Mark receives an “emergency text” regarding the vending machines in the break room at the Arkansas One Nuclear Power Plant. CHRIS TAYLOR, an animated plant worker on his last day at work, has become agitated that his cupcakes got stuck between the glass and the dispenser unit of the machine. In his opinion, this constitutes grounds for an Emergency Call to the route driver. After all, Chris is training his replacement, an engineer named Meng Zheng, and “staying properly nourished is essential safety protocol” he tells Meng.

Just minutes after Mark arrives at the plant and the employee the break room, all hell breaks loose.

A large group of heavily armed mercenaries - mostly appearing to be of Middle Eastern descent - have surrounded the plant, killed all the guards, and essentially taken control. The Nuclear One Plant Employee manifest and daily schedule does not list Mark Bridges as being present, because he's an outside supplier appearing on an unscheduled stop. The terrorists don't realize he's there... until it’s too late!

Bridges, Chris and Meng hide when the attackers barge-in to inspect the break room. The terrorists are scouring the facility – looking for Chris and Meng – who are the only two nuclear plant workers not already accounted for in the holding room they have turned into a makeshift prison for facility employees. Our trio learns of the terrorist’s plan to trigger a nuclear meltdown of the facility (the radiation fallout from which would likely kill tens-of-thousands).. and they decide to take action. With Bridge’s special weapons and hand-to-hand combat skills – combined with Meng’s secret martial arts expertise and Chris’s knowledge of the plant layout – our heroes slowly begin to prevail as they take out the attackers one-and-two at a time. Finally, as they get closer to the assault leader (overhearing him from a ventilation duct), they learn that the perpetrators are not Muslim terrorists... but are members of a Russian organized criminal gang, posing as terrorists in order to make a TEN BILLION DOLLAR profit from placing well-timed stock market “short-sales.” These “economic terrorists” believe that their U.S.-based terrorist attack and nuclear meltdown will trigger a short-term stock market panic – and will reap them enormous profits. The collateral damage of a few thousand “hillbillies” (as they refer to the area residents) dying from the radiation fallout is an inconsequential bonus in their diabolical plot.

During this whole adventure, Bridges has been communicating via his smart phone with the authorities that are now surrounding the plant’s perimeter – and with his wife and kids who express grave concern to learn that he's inside the facility, and working to defeat the attackers. As the film concludes with our trio’s ultimate victory (and their successful "stopping" of the nuclear meltdown process), Mark is reunited with his estranged wife, who has a renewed respect for her husband… and a greater understanding of why he had been so motivated to served his country. Crisis averted: bad guys lose, good guys win and the credits roll.

“MELTDOWN” combines the successful elements of “DIE HARD” with the buddy-comedy and action of “RUSH HOUR” to create a film of worldwide entertainment value.

"Crimson Forest and Hannover House Initiate Corporate Merger to Become Major Independent Distributor"


--Combined Company to Launch Slate of High-Profile Films for Theatrical, Home Video and International Release--





April 26. 2017

LOS ANGELES, April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Feature Film Production Company Crimson Forest Entertainment Group Inc. (OTC: CRIM) and specialty theatrical and home video distributor Hannover House, Inc. (OTC: HHSE) have confirmed plans to merge operations under a stock-swap and financing plan, scheduled to be effective as of May 1, 2017.





The combined company will immediately launch production activities on a slate of high-profile feature films that will drive the theatrical, home video and international release schedules for the coming years.

Formed in 2010, and financed with investment capital and presales from China, Crimson Forest Entertainment has successfully financed and acquired several films for international and North America distribution. PALI ROAD was the first Hawaii-China co-production, starring Jackson Rathbone from the "The Twilight Saga," Sung Kang from "Fast & Furious," Henry Ian Cusick, known for his roles in "L.O.S.T.," and "The 100," and Chinese Celebrity Michelle Chen. The film premiered at the Hawaii International Film Festival and went on to win several awards, including "Best Actress" "Best Cinematography" and a "Best Director" award at the 12th Annual Chinese American Film Festival. The film was released theatrically, both in North America and China, and in Malaysia earlier this month.

Formed in 1993 and growing into one of the top independent distributed labels in North America, Hannover House, Inc. has direct distribution relationships for all major theatre circuits, principal media outlets, and wholesale access to major home video retailers and mass merchants. Hannover House has released more than 50 films to theatres and more than 300 titles to the Home Video Market in the United States, including titles such as "Grand Champion" (with Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts and George Strait) and director Joel Schumacher's teen angst thriller "Twelve" (starring Curtis "50-Cent" Jackson, Emma Roberts, Ellen Barkin and Chase Crawford).

"There is a growing need for specialty independent distributors," said Jonathan Lim, CEO of Crimson Forest Entertainment. "There is a lot of quality product out there that is being ignored and we are excited that Hannover House has partnered with us in releasing these films. It will bring much needed diversity to audiences in North America, and growing commercial success for the combined company," he concluded.

"A Crimson Forest and Hannover House merger is expected to fill the demand from independent and international productions, which seek distributors that have direct access to theatrical, as well as Home Video and VOD & Digital sales," said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hannover House. "We're optimistic about what these new opportunities and corporate structure will bring to Hannover House and our shareholders and excited by the upcoming titles that we will be announcing and releasing in the upcoming weeks, which we fully anticipate will have a substantial impact on the growth of our combined company, " said Parkinson.

One of the first new titles to be released under the combined Crimson Forest – Hannover House structure is the $20-million dollar action thriller feature "Shockwave" starring Andy Lau and Jiang Wu. The film will be co-released together with CMC Pictures in North America next month.

Under the newly merged company, the board of directors will be comprised as follows: Jonathan Lim (Chairman), Eric Parkinson (CEO), Fred Shefte (President) and Tom Sims (V.P. Sales). The existing offices for Hannover House, Inc. and its affiliate Medallion Releasing, Inc. in Fayetteville, Arkansas will remain as the primary distribution operations office. The Los Angeles offices for Crimson Forest will serve as the company's corporate and production headquarters, and the Crimson Forest office in Shanghai, China, will continue to operate as the finance office for the funding of new productions and releasing costs. Crimson Forest is also negotiating for the acquisition of other, complementary media companies to add to the enhanced distribution entity. Included in the corporate merger are Hannover House affiliates, Medallion Releasing, Inc. and Bookworks, Inc., respectively handling theatrical and publishing ventures.
