Grooters Productions was founded by John Grooters. Michelangelo said, “Don’t criticize, create.” John takes that to heart. He built Grooters Productions, Angelhouse Media, and Extraordinary Images.Net from the ground up, writing, shooting, and editing high-quality Hi-Def videos. His passion is storytelling, and his mediums are film, video, literature and music. His creativity is expressed in hundreds of scripts, six Christian Rock CD’s with Grooters & Beal, two literary fiction books, a number of very bad paintings, and two great kids.

When he’s not behind the camera, he’s behind his Fender Telecaster guitar,behind the bench – coaching baseball or hockey, or simply behind the times (still loves that Tears for Fears album).
