Groom Creek Productions is dedicated to creating quality, marketable motion pictures with special individual attention focused on each project  We are passionate in telling unique and entertaining character driven stories that are an interest to our great planet, as well as sometimes being just plain fun !

 

Although not a professional musician, Jeff is very passionate about his music as well, believing that music is a very important part of a motion picture. Being raised listening to such Jazz greats as Miles, Monk, and Coltrane, Jeff has acquired a very versatile taste in music.  “Music is a language that crosses all cultural, geographical, political, and even religious boundaries.” - JRS

 

Our work ethics reflect honest, hard working individuals that always put the film first. Jeff's mantra "Filmmaking is a collaborative art form..." is true - filmmaking is one of the few art forms that require a collaborative effort in order to make a good picture.

 

Groom Creek Productions is very open minded, and of course in this age there are many ways to make a movie, yet we maintain a basic studio structure to create quality motion pictures.  Jeff believes that there can be great motion pictures that are innovative and challenging, and still have a strong claim in the mainstream movie market.

 

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your
ambition. Small people always do that, but the
really great make you feel that you, too, can
become great." --- Mark Twain

NEWS!
Newest project to date:
Closer To The Sun 
My most exciting project to date - it is bursting with heart and soul! We will post more information very soon; this film is in early script stage but is flying together!
 
Our other current project in developement is an exciting character-driven adventure named
 
THE SEVENTH CITY  (VINTAGE SUPERSTITIONS).
 
-- A heritage richer than gold is discovered as two brothers set off on an expedition to the Superstition Mountains, where their father’s remains were found.
 
This marks Jeff's first film project since his two year battle with cancer. He is very excited about the story, a character-driven adventure, loosely based around the legendary, mystery shrouded and historic Superstition Mountains in his home state of Arizona.
 
Things are coming together very nicely, and even though he is taking his time developing the project, it is rapidly approaching a production date.

A new dig on old gold!
