Hannover House Stock

Hannover House, Inc. operates as a media production and distribution company. The company engages in book publishing, feature film and video production, and distribution of feature films and videos through various media platforms and territories worldwide.

The company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are Medallion Releasing, Inc. (for handling non-Hannover House producer clients), and Bookworks, Inc., a special purpose entity utilized for book publishing activities, as well as to act as the corporate signatory for compliance purposes with the Screen Actors Guild. Both Medallion Releasing, Inc and Bookworks, Inc. are Arkansas domiciled corporations.

The company publishes fiction and non-fiction books. Its media distribution includes the release of films to theatres, home video, digital streaming formats, television outlets and international licensors. The company is working with Vodwiz, Inc. (which has secured non-affiliate private funding) for the development and launch of a new digital streaming site to be named MyFlix. The business model for MyFlix is to consolidate feature films and television series programming owned by a wide range of studios and content owners, into a single destination digital streaming site.

Consumers visiting the MyFlix website (or accessing the service through mobile APPS or over-the-top devices, such as Roku, AppleTV or hardware installed APPS) can purchase movies or TV episodes on a per transaction basis (ala Amazon) or alternatively, can open a monthly subscription with MyFlix for unlimited access to approximately half of the programming otherwise available for per-transaction access. As of December 31, 2020, forty-three program suppliers, collectively representing over 15,000 titles, had agreed to participate in the MyFlix service, which would position the site as number two only to Amazon in terms of total programming.

The company has released over four hundred titles to the USA Home Video markets since taking on video product distribution activities in 2002. Some of the better known home video releases include TWELVE from director Joel Schumacher - starring Curtis 50-Cent Jackson, Zoe Kravitz, Emma Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland; GRAND CHAMPION - starring Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts and George Strait; SAVAGE LAND – starring Graham Greene, Corbin Bernsen, Vivian Schilling and Charlotte Ross; TOYS IN THE ATTIC – starring Forest Whitaker, Joan Cusack and Cary Elwes; and BONOBOS: BACK TO THE WILD – starring Luke Evans and Rebecca Hall.

Regarding book publishing, the company has achieved best-seller status on both the fiction and non-fiction charts.

Killed J.F.K. from attorney Barr McClellan (over 120,000 copies in print, inclusive of mass market editions).
