CANNES, FRANCE / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2014 / Hannover House,
Inc. (OTC: HHSE), has officially launched its new international
sales and financing company, Medallion International Pictures, at
the Cannes Film Festival and Marche du Film today, and has
announced the acquisition of worldwide distribution rights to
director Erica Dunton's youth-thriller, "Black-Eyed Dog." Other
Medallion titles on display at the festival include the upcoming
productions of "Mother Goose: Journey to Utopia" and "The Legend of
Belle Starr."
"Black-Eyed Dog" is the next film from director Erica Dunton
following her Sundance Film Festival Audience Award for
"To.Get.Her". This 2014 production presents a coming of age story
of four young friends as they struggle with life and death
circumstances affecting one of their parents. The cast includes
Hilarie Burton ("The Secret Life of Bees"), Paul Schneider ("Parks
and Recreation") and Joshua Leonard ("Blair Witch Project"), with
outstanding performances delivered by the youth cast of MacKenzie
Foy ("Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn"), Chandler Canterbury ("The
Host") and Johnny Sequoyah ("Believe"). Several of the film's
producers also possess impressive credits, including Heather Rae
("Frozen River", "Windwalkers"), Stephanie Caleb ("Getaway",
"Cake") and Spencer Silna ("Lone Survivor", "The Grey", "Killing
Them Softly"). Lead star Mackenzie Foy is also starring in
director Christopher Nolan's epic "Interstellar" which opens
worldwide this November from Paramount Pictures.
The film is described as having a similar theme and concept to
"Stand By Me" and "To Kill A Mockingbird." Other credited producers
and executive producers include Betsy Davis, Tomy Drissi, Erica
Dunton's, Eric Parkinson, Kevin Lee Allen and Richard Bach.
In addition to selling international rights through Medallion,
Hannover House will be releasing "Black-Eyed Dog" to theatres in
the U.S. beginning September 26. The initial release in New
York, Los Angeles and Chicago will be designed to meet qualifying
criteria for the Academy Awards and Golden Globes; the film will be
expanded to additional key theatrical markets nationwide prior to
its December, 2014 home video and video-on-demand launch in the USA
and Canadian markets.
Financing for the acquisition and release of "Black-Eyed Dog" -
as well as the financing for the company's market presence at
Cannes - has been provided through private, New York based
investors for Hannover House. These, and other private
investors, will be providing financing for additional Hannover
House acquisitions and P&A costs throughout 2014 and 2015.
"We are very excited to be launching Medallion at the Cannes
market," said Hannover House President Fred Shefte. "With two
major productions on offer for presale, and one completed movie
ready for delivery, we can quickly build momentum as a respected,
new supplier to the international markets."
Hannover House and Medallion International Pictures can be
located at Cannes in the Palais Riviera, G-23, with Odyssey
Pictures Corp.
