The Groove Productions - Documentaries

Documentaries The Groove Productions produces locally inspired films that celebrate unsung heroes, visionary artists, and important happenings. Our projects are born out of relationships and conversations with friends and neighbors, sometimes out of serendipitous encounters. Each of our films tell unique stories that capture important moments in the life and history of Durham and the North Carolina piedmont.

We welcome collaboration with filmmakers, artists, friends and people we have yet to meet.
