Kurt Henry Heinecke is an American music composer, songwriter, voice actor and photographer. He is the music director at Big Idea Entertainment, creators of the computer-animated VeggieTales.
Heinecke was born in Wisconsin and raised in Cullman, Alabama. He came from a musical family, his mother played the organ and was a member of the church choir. During his years at junior high he and his friends started a jazz band called Deathstar which later disbanded in high school. Heinecke studied at the musix lab at the University of Montevallo. He also went to study at Luther College where he got his B.A. in band and choral conducting.
After touring around the country and serving as a teacher in the Bahamas Kurt finally settled down in Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois where he later became Director of Church Music at the Park Community Church. Serving as choir director he met Lisa who introduced him to her husband Phil Vischer and his friend Mike Nawrocki who would later co-found Big Idea Productions. Heinecke joined Phil and Mike and provided the music for their video series VeggieTales. He also provided music for another Big Idea productions, 3-2-1 Penguins, Jonah and The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. He has received 6 Dove Awards for his production work with Big Idea. He is also producer, arranger, performer at Oak Valley Studios and is composer of the Adam Raccoon video series. Heinecke is currently composing the music for the CGI-remake of Superbook.
The Wingfeather Saga is a series of four fantasy novels plus a "Creaturepedia" written by Christian singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson, consisting of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, North! Or Be Eaten, The Monster in the Hollows, and The Warden and the Wolf King. The series chronicles the adventures and transformations of a family called Igiby, with three children, Janner, Tink, and Leeli, as they discover secrets of their family history, flee the evil beast-men the "Fangs of Dang", who are occupying the country of Skree where the Igibys were raised, seek their place in the world, and make a stand against the mysterious ruler behind the Fangs, Gnag the Nameless. The series contains some elements of Christian allegory, but is primarily a chronicle of the children's adventures rather than an allegorical journey.
A short film is any film not long enough to be considered a feature film. Although no consensus exists as to where that boundary is drawn, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film as "an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits". The term featurette originally applied to a film longer than a short subject, but shorter than a standard feature film.
The increasingly rare term short subject means approximately the same thing. An industry term, it carries more of an assumption that the film is shown as part of a presentation along with a feature film. Short is an abbreviation for either term. Short films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals and made by independent filmmakers for non profit, either with a low budget or no budget at all. They are usually funded by film grants, non profit organizations, sponsor, or personal funds. Short films are generally used by filmmakers to gain experience and/or prove their talent in order to gain funding for future films from private investors, entertainment companies, or film studios.
