Changes at Heritage Films

In recent years, many have known us as Movies Change People—a public-facing brand reflecting our core belief that movies change people, and people change the world. But as we move into this next chapter, we’re returning to our roots with the Heritage Films name, with a fresh mission that expresses our dedication to storytelling and community.

Looking Back, Moving Forward

We’re all about connecting people through stories. For 20 years, we’ve believed in the power of film to bring people together and create a sense of belonging, even as content becomes more fleeting and commodified. Our CEO, Rod Hopping, recorded the video below unpack our history and why storytelling is our passion and purpose.


The journey of sharing stories on film began by shipping DVDs from a small warehouse, and today we continue to seek out stories that nourish, surprise, and inspire. Technology changes, but our shared humanity doesn’t—and sharing stories is a beautiful part of that.

Our refined mission statement is simple: Every frame is for you, because you are the heartbeat of this narrative, and together we can make the world a more beautiful place. This statement reflects who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Every film we bring to you is chosen to inspire, connect, and change perspectives.

Wonder Events: Shared Stories, Unforgettable Moments

In an age of streaming, we believe there’s still magic in gathering to watch a film together. Wonder Events is our way of helping communities create memorable movie moments—whether with family, friends, or strangers-turned-friends. Launching in early November, Wonder Events combines your space and community with our films and technology to make hosting a movie event easier and more impactful than ever.

Introducing Wonder TIX: Big Screen, Big Savings

The Heritage Films experience isn’t just for the small screen anymore. Meet Wonder TIX, our brand-new, discounted cinema ticketing platform. Wonder TIX brings you the flexibility to watch any movie in cinemas, while saving up to $10 per ticket.

And because giving back is central to our mission, we’re donating $1 for every Wonder TIX ticket purchased to Empower HER Nepal, an organisation making a profound difference in the lives of women in Nepal. Find your discounted movie tickets here: https://good.film/wondertix

So, whether you're seeing a blockbuster or an indie film, you’re part of something greater. Australia, you’re first to experience Wonder TIX—and New Zealand, hang tight, we’re working hard to bring it to you in early 2025.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Each change we’ve made, each new venture, is designed with you in mind—because without you, none of this would be possible. Here’s to a future filled with transformative storytelling, shared experiences, and meaningful impact.With gratitude,The Heritage Films Team
