SPRINGDALE, AR--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - Hannover House, the film and video distribution division of Target Development Group, Inc. (
The distribution pact was negotiated between Target and Hannover President D. Frederick Shefte and Vini Bancalari, president of Elite Entertainment, Inc. and partner in FOCUSfilm Entertainment. The agreement was activated this week through the initial funds transfer from Hannover House, with additional installment payments slated over the coming months. Actual sales representation of the Elite and FOCUSfilm titles will commence in January 2010.
The Elite Entertainment label is the premiere science-fiction, fantasy and horror film independent video supplier in North America. Key titles include director Philippe Mora's alien-abduction masterpiece, "Communion" starring Christopher Walken; the big-foot monster classic, "Boggy Creek 2: The Legend Continues"; "Savage Harvest 2: October Blood"; and the 10-title horror series, "The Fearmakers Collection."

We feel uniquely qualified to maximize revenues from their catalog titles, and build on their exciting new release titles coming in 2010 and 2011."
