Dove Worldview Dove Family-ApprovedSuitable for all ages Want to take a ride and learn something along the way? Jump on board as the kids do a great job taking you back in history. The actors have great enthusiasm while performing. The art work included in the feature and the time line are something that will keep your children interested.
Take a look at the props and costumes, I think you will be pleased to see that they follow that time in history and are also geared to the child's level of perspective.
The only down side I could see is that there are some mild scenes of violence. Scenes of violence include, Indians using a bow and arrow to kill a Rabbit, Eskimos spearing a Mammoth to eat, Vikings chasing after Native Americans, Vikings fighting each other, Bandits stealing from travelers, and some fighting between kids in the credit section.
Identical twins, Holly and Heather De Luca, bring history to life with their Kidz History Films.
It all began in the year 2000 when Holly found herself a single mom with no income. She was pondering over ideas of how to make money without having to leave her children to daycare. Holly’s oldest daughter had a great interest in history but it was difficult to find material age appropriate. Then her daughter’s Kaleigh (7) and Summer (4) suggested making kid friendly history films for kids who love history but find the material boring. With a lot of encouragement from Aunt Heather, Holly began writing her first script. Within three months, they had a working script, homemade costumes, local actors, a camera man, and lots of excitement. Thus they began filming with a four man crew and lots of mommy's helping out where ever they could. As word got out about Holly and Heather making a history film and using local kids as their actors, the cast grew from 15 to 85 children in just a few months.
Three years later after lots of script adjustments, late nights editing, and determination, Holly & Heather had a finished product; Kidz History’s “The Revolutionary War.” The girls premiered the film at the Edward's Theatre in Rancho Cucamonga, California to a sold out crowd of 700 people. It was a great success.
Three years later, Holly & Heather are back with the latest Kidz History Film; “Coming to America.” Both films have earned The Award of Excellence by The Film Advisory Board and are available at Amazon.com.
Holly and Heather grew up in Orange County with their mom and two older sisters Kelly and Lisa. They both took all the same classes and participated in several school activities including softball, tennis, basketball, drama, and student council. In their senior year both girls were members of the high school varsity tennis, basketball, and softball teams. They were also ASB, Associated Student Body, officers and elected to the homecoming court. In 1986, Holly and Heather graduated from La Mirada High School with athletic scholarships to Cal Poly Pomona University.
While at Cal Poly, Holly and Heather helped lead their Division 1 softball team to two consecutive World Series appearances. There they took 3rd place just under UCLA and Arizona. Both girls were also part of the University Union Board where they helped manage the Student Union. In the off season and summer months, they worked for their mom and Dad’s R.V. business as well as concerts and Raider and USC football games. Holly and Heather graduated from Cal Poly in 1991 with Bachelor Degrees in Political Science and Minors in Business.
Holly and Heather are now in the process of producing twelve films in their Kidz History series for children ages 4 to 8.
