John Edward Keough has a dream. A man with a difficult past thinks that there are stories to be told, right here in New ENgland, and those stories can be told in a way that uplifts, enriches, and challenges audiences. 

These stories can bring economic activity to New England, and can reflect the people who live here. That is what brought HollyWooot Film Group to life.

Over the past two years, the movement has grown to over a thousand locals members, all focused on ethical filmmaking, where people are paid for their roles, valued for their time, and cared for as living and breathing artists.

There is a phrase in media, 'Above the Line', but at HollyWoot everyone is above the line.
