Hannover House Targets Two Major Awards for First Feature Production of WILDFIRE

FAYETTEVILLE, AR / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2023 / Hannover House, Inc., (OTC:HHSE) is pursuing two high-profile awards for its debut feature production of "WILDFIRE: THE LEGEND OF THE CHEROKEE GHOST HORSE" - an original, family appeal feature starring Anne Heche in her final feature release. For the Film Independent Spirit Awards, Hannover House is promoting consideration of the film in the "John Cassavetes" category for best feature produced for $500,000 or less. For the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Oscar Awards, Hannover House is promoting its Cherokee-language love song, "Adaygayudi" in the category of Best Original song. Promotional and advertising activities in support of both awards will be launched in October.

"We have shown the ‘WILDFIRE' feature to a select group of influential, film industry insiders," said Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hannover House. "The feedback has been encouraging as the production values of the film greatly exceed the film's actual costs. We have been encouraged to pursue these two, specific awards because they are realistically obtainable and merited," he concluded.

The John Cassavetes Award from the Film Independent group was designed to recognize outstanding quality and entertainment value from movies produced for $500,000 or less of total production costs. Unlike big-budgeted features, films in this category require tremendous skill and resourcefulness from the filmmakers to overcome challenges and to solve production problems for which spending more money is not an option. Previous winners in this category include "The Station Agent" from director Tom McCarthy, and "The Blair Witch Project" from directors Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez.

The Academy Award for Best Original Song is a highly-competitive category, often dominated by major studio features with top-selling music stars. However, the Cherokee-language song, "Adaygayudi" written for the WILDFIRE movie has an unique style and melody that differentiates it from other likely competitors in this category. Accordingly, and with promotional outreach to the Academy voters as well the release of a music video and supporting radio campaign, Hannover House feels that there is an achievable possibility for an Academy Award nomination.
