Current/Upcoming
 
  In Progress documentaries from The Groove Productions
  Kenny is editing the hour long documentary, A New Kind of Listening. The film takes us inside the creative work of the Community Inclusive Theater Group and its director, Richard Reho, as he inspires cast members, some with disabilities, to be writers, actors and dancers in an original collaborative performance piece. Together they prove that a small community arts initiative has the power to transform lives.
