History
Hannover was established in 1993 as a California corporation. Hannover House concentrated its activities exclusively in the literary, book-publishing industries until 2003 when the company entered into the DVD marketplace. Hannover House expanded into theatrical distribution in 2007.
In 2003, the company published the book Blood, Money and Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K. by Barr McClellan, which argues that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was arranged by his vice-president and successor, Lyndon B. Johnson.[4] Barr McClellan is the father of Scott McClellan, a White House press secretary under George W. Bush and Mark McClellan, commissioner at the United States Food and Drug Administration when the book was published.
In December, 2009, Eric Parkinson and his operating partner D. Frederick Shefte, entered into an agreement to reverse merge with the publicly traded Target Development Group, Inc. Simultaneous with the December, 2009 merger transaction, the officers and directors of Target were restructured to add Hannover House executives to the board, with Eric Parkinson also tapped as Chairman / CEO and Fred Shefte as President.[5] Parkinson brings over 30-years of indie-studio management experience to Hannover House, including a notable string of hits as C.E.O. of Hemdale Communications, Inc. (). Shefte is an attorney as well as a business entrepreneur. In June, 2014, Hannover House announced the hiring of Tom Sims as Vice-President of Sales.
