Gotta Groove Records

 A short documentary film on the history and resurgence of vinyl records from the perspective of an artist focused pressing plant in Cleveland, Ohio named Gotta Groove Records. A hero story about grit, manufacturing and the pursuit of passion.

With so much focus on process, Gotta Groove Records could easily be qualified as an industrial video … if a slickly produced one. But it never falls into the tedium of that industrial format. That’s because Cavalier and DOP John Pope lens the action with such obvious affection. Every moment of this film is meticulously constructed and flawlessly executed – including a dynamite tracking shot that unfolds over the final few minutes.
