Rev.Kevin Denholm

Film Industry Chaplain.

Kevin has been a fixture in the Aotearoa New Zealand film industry for over thirty years. He directed the highly successful Air New Zealand Nothing to Hide Brand campaign. His other celebrated projects, which have become cultural icons in New Zealand, include the Mitre 10 “Sandpit,” Toyota “Everyday People,” and the National Depression Initiative, which featured rugby legend Sir John Kirwan.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kevin reached out to support the film community, and the floodgates opened. This led him to pursue studies in chaplaincy to acquire the skills necessary for offering a calm, compassionate, and empathetic presence to those in need.

Kevin holds a master’s degree in Chaplaincy from the University of Otago and is currently pursuing a PhD. He has also been formally ordained by the Anglican Church of Aotearoa. With his deep commitment to listening and supporting others, Kevin is well-equipped to serve the film community.

Kevin and his wife, Nikki, reside in Auckland and have three daughters and a son-in-law.
