Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Payables	In January 2016, Dr. Thomas J. Rutherford, a member of the Company’s board of directors, purchased an unsecured, convertible note from Grom Holdings in the principal amount of $200,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 9% per year and is payable semi-annually. In connection with the issuance of the convertible note, Grom issued to Dr. Rutherford 69,501 shares of common stock as an inducement to lend. In November 2016, Dr. Rutherford voluntarily converted his note, including inducement costs and accrued interest totaling $23,000, into 309,973 shares of common stock. Messrs. Darren Marks and Melvin Leiner, both officers of the Company, have made numerous loans to Grom to help fund operations. These loans are non-interest bearing and callable on demand. Neither Mr. Marks nor Mr. Leiner have any intention of calling these loans at present. The loan balances are classified as short-term obligations under Related Party Payables on the Company’s balance sheet. On December 29, 2017, Messrs. Marks and Leiner agreed to convert an aggregate of $500,000 of their combined loan balances into shares of our Common Stock, at a conversion price of $0.50 per share, which was above the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $.30 on December 29, 2017. Mr. Marks converted $333,333 of his loan into 666,666 shares; and Mr. Leiner converted $166,667 into 333,334 shares. As a result of the transaction, Mr. Marks and Mr. Leiner’s loan balances were reduced to $1,291,018 and $842,468, respectively. Mr. Marks and Mr. Leiner now beneficially own 15,204,731 and 9,313,136 shares of our Common Stock, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, after accounting for the taking the aggregate amount of loans made from the Company’s executive officers through their family trusts were $1,215,442 and $1,247,750, respectively, for Mr. Marks; and $861,198 and $867,513, respectively, for Mr. Leiner. On January 4, 2018, Mr. Marks and Mr. Leiner voluntarily agreed to defer a large portion of their demand loans until July 1, 2019. Mr. Marks agreed to defer $915,442 of his loan balance, and Mr. Leiner agreed to defer $561,198, leaving each individual with a current principal balance due of $300,000. Mr. Marks’ son Zach and his wife Sarah are employees of Grom. Their annual salaries are $90,000 and $35,000, respectively. His sons Luke and Jack, and daughter Caroline are also employed by Grom as independent contractors. Their annual fees are $18,000, $7,200 and $15,000, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s two officers and Zach Marks each voluntarily agreed to defer portion of their salaries. As of December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 the group was collectively owed $617,213 and $623,953, respectively, in accrued salaries. See Note 9 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.
