Kenny Dalsheimer founded The Groove Productions in 1996.  He received his MA in Anthropology from Duke University in 1985 and then taught middle school social studies for ten years at Carolina Friends School.   In the mid-90′s, Kenny reconnected with his childhood dreams of shooting with cameras and making movies and with more recent interests in documentary films. He was also looking for ways to marry his teaching, creative, and social justice interests in new work. Kenny splits his time now creating locally inspired documentaries, producing non-profit videos, and teaching youth video workshops.

 

In addition to our documentary and non-profit projects, The Groove Productions offers a full palette of  production and editing services from shooting events, art happenings and interviews to editing video footage and photographs to preparing video for web distribution.

Our company name was born during our first film project – Go Fast, Turn Left: Voices from Orange Country Speedway. ‘The groove’ is a racing term for, “the fastest route around the track, the most efficient or quickest way around the track for a particular driver.”

Kenny c0-founded the Bull City Arts Collaborative in 2006 which is home to The Groove Productions and two other working studios. We are located in the Central Park District of Durham, NC.
