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. It 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]

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 brought 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.
