Vincent Burke
Vincent Burke was a television producer for roughly three decades. After launching company Top Shelf Productions in 1988, he went on to work on a run of documentaries and non-fiction programming. His CV included An Immigrant Nation, high profile history series Frontier of Dreams, Cinema of Unease (which charted Kiwi movie history), and long-running consumer show Target. Burke passed away in February 2022.
He’s the most unflappable man I’ve ever met. This is a very desirable characteristic to have in the film business. NZ Film Commission sales veteran Lindsay Shelton on Vincent Burke, Capital Times, 13 September 1995
