Why we created a New Zealand DVD for Kiwi kids

Our film company, Kindle Films Limited, formed in 2007 and trades as Red Heke Productions® and is 100% NZ owned and operated.

Emma Heke is the Company Director, Manager, Marketer and Filmmaker…she needs a PA but can’t afford one yet!...she also packages and posts those DVDs sold through the website! (Red Heke Productions® has a distribution company called Vendetta Films who manage their larger clients such as Whitcoulls NZ).

Ideas for the original DVD, OURS® formed in 2006 when Emma noticed a gap in the market for good, doco-style DVDs for young children. She found ‘cutesy-kiddie’ type animations and non-kiwi, big budget films and didn’t want her son Connor watching them! He was 2 at the time and she wanted to create something wholesome and interesting and very kiwi! Emma woke nightly for a month with ideas pouring forth for 10 DVDs…the seed was sown and the journey commenced!

Emma had a background in high-school art and photography teaching (11 years) but had never even picked up a video camera before. It seemed an impossible dream! But a bit of study and a lot of hard work and lashings of kiwi ingenuity (and her very supportive mother who helped look after Connor) saw Emma’s dream realised. OURS® was released April 2009 and OUR CREATIVE CHILDREN released October 2010…and there are more coming!
