Hannover House International to Launch at AFM

Marketwired
Hannover House, the entertainment division of Target Development
Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TDGI), has pegged the American Film Market
in Santa Monica this November for the launch of their newly formed
international sales division. Hannover House International will
launch with more than thirty titles at this year's AFM / IFTA
annual show with at least six new productions and a wide range of
titles from the company's catalog.
"The decision to launch at AFM in November -- instead of at
Cannes in May -- was designed to provide a post-production window
for several of the titles," said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover
House. "The additional time will enable the International division
to be properly staffed and organized for maximum impact at the
AFM."
"We're excited to be taking this next step in the vertical
integration of Hannover House as an emerging media player," said
Parkinson. "We have built up a significant slate of international
rights and new productions, and felt that it was time to launch our
own sales operation. We feel that our U.S. distribution operations
will provide a competitive advantage to international buyers by
assuring a significant launch of each film in America. The momentum
and awareness generated from a properly executed theatrical launch
in the U.S. can significantly impact a title's reception in many of
the key, international territories."
Parkinson said that Hannover House will be attending the Cannes
Festival and Le Marche du Film again this year, but only in the
capacity as a buyer of rights for the U.S. market and not as a
seller.
The November launch at AFM will enable the company to screen
promo reels on at least three current productions that will be sold
internationally by Hannover House, including the summer 2011
production of "Lucky Charms" and the 3D Sci-Fi Thrillers "Dances
With Werewolves" and "ShadowVision." Hannover House is currently in
negotiations for three additional 2011 feature film productions
that may also be ready for sales at AFM. Additionally, twenty-four
catalog titles from the Hannover House library will be reintroduced
to international buyers, including best-sellers such as "Savage
Land," "Future Shock" and "Outlaws: The Legend of O.B. Taggart"
(all of which have been unavailable for international sales for
seven or more years). Hannover House International will handle all
worldwide territories and media for "Lucky Charms" and
"ShadowVision." For "Dances With Werewolves" the company represents
rights for sale and licensing within North America, Central America
and South America.
Hannover House will be hiring a Vice President of Sales for the
International Division, along with support staff in marketing,
administration and deliveries. The American Film Market is an
annual trade show of international buyers, sellers and producers of
entertainment products, organized and administered by the
Independent Film and Television Alliance (IFTA).
