We are very honored to present these awards to two acclaimed members of the entertainment community. Their contributions to film and literature merit this UNESCO recognition for World Culture.”— Ioannis Maronitis, President of UNESCOATHENS, GREECE, July 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Two creative professionals based in the United States were honored today with UNESCO World Culture Awards, conferred by Ionannis Maronitis, President of the UNESCO European and North American Federation.
Eric Parkinson, CEO of Hannover House (OTC: HHSE), received the award for his lifetime dedication to the production and distribution of high-quality feature films. Meanwhile, Vivian Schilling, a filmmaker and best-selling author, was also recognized for her contributions to World Culture through the field of literature.
Parkinson has been engaged in feature film production and distribution for more than four decades. His first #1 release in the USA came in 1984 with “Summer Olympic Highlights,” a documentary produced in partnership with ABC Sports. Since then, Parkinson has overseen the release of over 1,500 movies—including multiple Oscar-winning films—and has produced more than seventy films, the most recent being the current streaming hit “WILDFIRE: The Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse.”
Vivian Schilling has enjoyed success across various sectors of the entertainment industry, including acting, writing, directing, and producing feature films. Her UNESCO recognition stems from her critically acclaimed, best-selling novels “SACRED PREY” (St. Martins Press) and “QUIEUTUS” (Penguin-Putnam Group).
"We are very honored to present these awards to two acclaimed members of the entertainment community," said Ioannis Maronitis, President of UNESCO. "Their contributions to film and literature merit this recognition for World Culture."
Both Parkinson and Schilling are currently in Greece, working on the preproduction of a major feature thriller directed by Giorgos Papatheodorou. The film is based on the true story of the secretive 17N group, whose activities were intended to draw global attention to political injustices in Greece. Production is expected to commence this year, with several major stars pursuing roles and the project eyeing recognition from the Academy Awards.
