Arkansas NEW MEDIA INCENTIVES Program - opportunities for Film, TV, New Media Suppliers!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Followers - it's been MONTHS in the works, and the structural, operational and funding details are still being massaged. But the enthusiasm for the Arkansas New Media Incentives Program is at an all-time high. HHSE C.E.O. Eric Parkinson, along with media executive Wade Rivers, structured the proposal to create special incentives for media companies located within Arkansas. With the help and advice from Arkansas Senators Joyce Elliott, Greg Leding and Breanne Davis - along with House Reps. Robin Lundstrum, Denise Garner, Nicole Clowney, Megan Godfrey and David Whitaker - a jobs and incentives program was developed that is designed to create sustainable, long-term jobs for Arkansans working in the Film, Television and New Media Industries.

Below are a few "sample" pages from the 85-page plan drafted by HHSE C.E.O. Eric Parkinson and the proposed legislation. With issues such as funding viability now resolved, there is confidence that this media / jobs program will be able to progress in the next step towards legislation. Watch for more details as they occur!

As they showed in the Schoolhouse Rock video about "A Bill" - the process is long and arduous... often compared to making sausage. But the victories go to those who are relentless, tireless and motivated, such as HHSE C.E.O. Eric Parkinson!

Parkinson and Wade Rivers were frequent faces at the Capitol in Little Rock throughout the spring legislative session - meeting with over 40 Representatives and Senators and getting 100% THUMBS UP for the New Media Incentives Program.



Little Rock Radio Executive Joel Ratliff is one of many business leaders to review and advise on the New Media Incentives Program. Other notable feedback was obtained from Stephens Group (financing), the Rockefeller Foundation (philanthropy), and representatives of Entergy (electical power utility).

“Hannover House, Inc. is a full-service media company, located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and operating continuously for the past 26-years. The company has released over 450 feature film and television titles to the DVD market, with Walmart Stores among its top ten clients. Recently, with the consumer transistion away from the purchasing of DVD products - and now favoring digital streaming - the company has refocused onto both bigger-budgeted original feature film productions as well as a new streaming venture known as MyFlix, which combines over 12,000 titles from more than 40 separate suppliers into a one-stop digital superstore for consumers to access. Many analysts feel that the MyFlix venture has the upside potential that has made other streaming suppliers, such as Amazon and Netflix, into media powerhouses. Accordingly, many elected officials from the State of Arkansas are desirous of having Hannover House establish and maintain the MyFlix venture within Arkansas. “

“Hannover House has announced that the company will be filing a Form 10 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will enable the company to elevate the stock from its current listing on the OTC Pinksheets to the more accessible, investor-friendly and prestigious OTC-QB board. Parkinson feels that the timing of the launch of MyFlix, combined with the company's uplisting and other activities - including the New Media Incentives Program - should create enhanced interest in the company. “
