Quilting Cinematic Stories Together
Welcome
Groovy Cats Films
We are a documentary-centered international group of experienced filmmaking professionals dedicated to preserving stories for future generations. In today's world, technology has made it easier than ever to capture images and record events, yet, we believe thoughtful storytelling, historical context, and the human connection matter more than ever. Through documentary filmmaking, we document truth, celebrate faith, preserve cultural memory, and illuminate the people and events in this era that shape our world serving as a testament, witness, and enduring record for future generations; preserving stories that might otherwise be lost in time. "Film preserves what time will forget". ~ Kat Flanigan
