Dear HHSE Friends & Followers - We cannot wipe the smiles off the faces of our WILDFIRE post-production team! Our major studio distribution partner provided some sage notes (mostly regarding sound effects and the film's Music edit) - which have proven to be incredibly insightful and helpful in enhancing the dramatic contrasts between scenes and holding the audience in suspense. Although the preview audience in Fort Worth responded enthusiastically to our event of Nov. 2nd (Lone Star Film Festival - opening night GALA feature film), the "new-and-improved" cut and mix of WILDFIRE is quite a positive leap forward.
Also - after our well-received PREMIERE, we were approached by four major Cross-Promotional Sponsors and six of the top USA Exhibition Chains with exciting opportunities to elevate the film to that next level: a wide USA theatre count opening!
Back in October, Hannover House and our distribution partners for WILDFIRE had planned on a theatrical release date of Jan. 26, 2024, and with a respectable - but not jaw dropping - level of theatre support. This plan matched what we thought would be a rather quick path to theatres, and onto Streaming and DVD in short order. However, as the major studios have proven with their cross-promotional sponsors on event level films, having such brand-name sponsors behind the film - as well as nationally known organizations for cross-promotional support - requires greater coordination and time for implementation. Accordingly, we are looking at April 19 as the film's USA theatrical date... and at a much wider screen count than we have ever achieved or thought possible. It's an incredible home run and major achievement for the first movie fully produced through the support and facilitation of Hannover House or any independent production studio.
Over the next few weeks, there will be a handful of "sneak peek" engagements prior to the wide USA release in April . The first "sneaks" are planned for late February. Additionally, the company's international distributor for the movie is scheduling a screening of the final version at the Berlinale' / European Film Market in mid-February.
But otherwise... POSTERS / LOBBY BANNERS / TRAILERS and ads will start being visible (and with increasing momentum) by early March... with a jaw-dropping wide- opening of the film in late April (which most likely will be April 19).
Some HHSE longs have often said that Hannover House is "ONE" big release away from being a major force (and a major entertainment stock). When you combine this enhanced release of WILDFIRE with the company's OTC markets UPLIST (now in motion!) and our MYFLIX launch activities, the momentum will be unstoppable.
More information will be posted here - as well as on the S.E.C. Edgar site - as these long sought-after goals are coming to fruition.
GO HHSE!!
