G-STAR BREAKS GROUND ON NEW SOUND STAGE!
G-Star Studios and the G-Star School of the Arts for Motion Pictures and Broadcasting announce the commencement of the construction of the largest motion picture sound stage in South Florida, and one of the largest in the state, in Palm Springs, Florida. The sound stage will join the already existing 93,000 sq. ft. movie studio complex. The G-Star Studios and G-Star School of the Arts have been in operation for over six years. “We were catering to $10 million and under budgeted films,” says Founder and CEO Greg Hauptner. “When the new sound stage opens in May, 2010 we will add on the $25 million to $50 million dollar feature film category.”
Over forty feature films, commercials, music videos and live action/interactive training films have been produced at the G-Star Studios; including some intriguing technical advances such as Radiohead’s (25 million albums sold) latest music video shot entirely without a camera on lasers. The video, entitled House of Cards, was nominated for seven Grammy’s. G-Star Studios is one of the great film incentives in the nation because it offers its Studios to filmmakers for no charge, including the new sound stage.
The new 45 ft. high sound stage is the same size as the sound stages in Los Angeles where Jurassic Park III and The Incredible Hulk movies were produced, and where Two and a Half Men and Desperate Housewives are shot today. The sound stage features a dynamic smoke evacuation system to exhaust smoke from forest fire-type scenes; and quick-release drainage floors for hurricane/storm-type scenes. It is the only sound stage anywhere in the world that is specially built to be convertible into a theater for live performances and world premier movies.
The Grand Opening will present the world premier trailer and behind-the-scenes of It’s a Dog Gone Tale: Destiny’s Stand, a new feature film that was produced at the G-Star Studios and is in post production now. The film stars Barry Bostwick (The Hanna Montana Movie, Spin City) and Ron Palillo (Welcome Back, Kotter & over 150 TV shows and feature films). Academy Award winner Bobby Moresco (Co-writer & Co-producer of Crash and Million Dollar Baby) is the Executive Creative Consultant and Dean Lyon (Special Visual Effect Supervisor on all three Academy Award winning Lord of the Rings movies, and Armageddon, Independence Day, Air Force One, Apollo 13, Superman Returns, Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) is the film’s Visual Effects and Post Production Supervisor. The film is financed by the G-Star Arts & Education Foundation through the G-Star Career & Education Scholarship Program. G-Star’s next feature film is in development now and will begin principal photography in June, 2010.
SPLINTER STUDIOS
Dean Lyon has announced the opening of his company, Splinter Studios, on the G-Star Studios back lot. Dean and his crew will be providing Digital Post Production, Visual Effects and Computer Graphics for major feature films and other projects as well as producing his own slate of feature films. In addition, Splinter Studios will be a certified training center for the next generation of special visual effects artists and directors with a unique approach to editing, compositing, color grading and 2-D and 3-D computer animation.

Free Sound Stage for Filmmakers in Florida!
PRESS RELEASE
There is a new Sound Stage in Palm Beach County, Florida for Filmmakers to use for FREE!
The G-Star School of the Arts and the G-Star Studios is building the largest state-of-the-art motion picture sound stage in south Florida and one of the biggest in the entire state. Greg Hauptner, G-Star Founder and CEO/CFO, signed the construction loan with Orion Bank on Friday, September 25th. Saltz-Michelson is the architectural firm; the construction company is DooleyMack; and the legal work was performed by Carlton-Fields. This was the final step in the process that began almost three years ago. The G-Star Sound Stage is now funded! This 45' high sound stage, a copy of a Warner Bros.-LA sound stage, is also the only sound stage anywhere built to be convertible into a theater for live performances and movie premiers. It has special waterproofing and drainage for hurricane-type scenes and a dynamic smoke elimination system for forest fire-type scenes. Included in the floor plan is a two-story atrium area for theater/premier receptions with wet bar and a new adjacent stand-alone Key West-style house with changing rooms, full bath, kitchen and business/computer rooms and lounge for use as a green room for major movie stars and their staff. The new sound stage will combine with the already existing 93,000 sq. ft. G-Star Studios movie studio complex which is offered for NO CHARGE to Filmmakers. For information, please visit our website at www.gstarstudios.com. G-Star has just added a brand new 5-ton grip package for rent at one-half price of other rental houses. Why does G-Star make this offer? Our mission is to provide our students with real-world hands-on experience in the film industry by interning on the sets of feature films, commercials and music videos.
The property acquired by G-Star three years ago for the sound stage is contingent to the G-Star Studios where over 40 feature films, music videos, commercials and major magazine photography shoots have taken place. From its inception, the G-Star Studios has been set up for the production of feature films in the $10 million and under budget range. With the new sound stage that budget range is now up to $25 million to $50 million. The G-Star sound stage is the same size sound stage as those in LA that were used for the filming of Jurassic Park III, The Incredible Hulk I&II, and where Two and a Half Men and Desperate Housewives are shot today.
The G-Star School of the Arts for Motion Pictures and Broadcasting is a charter high school. G-Star’s academic mission has been accomplished via a graduation rate of 96% and with 95% of its students attending colleges with premier film programs such as USC, UCLA, NYU, FSU, etc. G-Star’s artistic mission is to create a film industry to employ its students after they graduate from college. This past summer the G-Star Foundation created a new scholarship program that funded the school’s first feature-length film, It’s a Dog Gone Tale: Destiny’s Stand, starring Golden Globe and Tony winner Barry Bostwick and Ron Paolillo, star of Welcome Back, Kotter and 150 TV shows and feature films; LA and NY film industry professionals including Academy Award winner Bobby Moresco, Co-writer & Co-producer of Crash and Million Dollar Baby, and Dean Lyon, Special Visual Effects Supervisor on all three Lord of the Rings movies; plus 125 G-Star graduates from college and present high school students. G-Star eventually will fund up to four feature films per year, thus creating a self-sustaining film industry at its Studios located in Palm Beach County. The new sound stage grand opening is slated for April, 2010 featuring the world premier of Destiny's Stand.

GREG HAUPTNER, G-STAR SCHOOL OF THE ARTS FEATURE FILM DESTINY'S STAND
The following is a letter to the cast & crew of the feature film It's a Dog Gone Tale: Destiny's Stand from the Producer.
To the Destiny's Stand Cast & Crew,
I want to thank all of you for the excellent job you did on our film. When I say "our film" I mean your film. You did it. It couldn't have happened without you. We had many seasoned film veterans on set during the shoot. The following gave rave reviews on how the set was run and how well you performed your jobs: Barry Bostwick (The Hannah Montana: The Movie, Spin City), Ron Palillo (The Guardians, Welcome Back Kotter), Ruth Paul from SAG, Academy Award winner Dean Lyon (Lord of the Rings trilolgy, Armageddon, Independence Day, Air Force One), Academy Award winner Beau Rogers (Gods and Monsters), Hollywood Props Master Art Shippee (The Sixth Sense, Disturbia, Without a Paddle, Pretty in Pink) and Susan Jackson from American Humane Film & TV Unit (she flew directly from monitoring the set of the $250 million remake of Ben Hur in Morocco to our set). These people have been on some of the biggest Hollywood films ever made and know what a true movie set is like. Star Barry Bostwick had this to say about the film in an email to the Producer. "Greg, the photos look great and it obviously looks like everyone had a great time...nobody more so than me...keep me posted with updates and gossip...thanks for everything you did to make my short stay so memorable and comfortable...Barry"
Every movie has obstacles to overcome, especially in the first week of the shoot. As Joe Reilly has said, "True professionalism shows itself when dealing with obstacles and making it work, not when everything is simply going smoothly."
You, the cast & crew of Destiny's Stand, hung in there and excelled at your jobs. You dealt with the obstacles and over came them. I am very proud of all of you. You have worked on a SAG union film. You now can call yourselves true professionals in the film industry. You earned it. You earned your Destiny's Stand T-shirt. Only those of you who made it to the end will have your names in the credits of the film and on IMDB.com. Thank you for your hard work and your faith in G-Star and Destiny's Stand. Somewhere down the road you will know that you were in the first film to start a true film industry in Palm Beach County!

Academy Award Winner Gives Seminar at G-Star School of the Arts by Greg Hauptner
PRESS RELEASE
Academy Award Winner Gives Seminar at G-Star School of the Arts!
By Greg Hauptner
Bobby Moresco won the Academy Award for Co-Writing the Academy Award winning film Crash, which he also Co-Produced. In addition, he Co-Wrote and Co-Produced the previous year’s Oscar winner, Million Dollar Baby. Mr. Moresco recently visited the G-Star School of the Arts to give a seminar on writing, directing and producing motion pictures to the students. He also brought with him two attorneys from one of the largest entertainment law firms in Hollywood, Leob & Leob, to discuss the business of filmmaking and entertainment law. Mr. Moresco spoke before 230 students in a three-hour seminar. He announced that he does not give speeches, he only answers questions. The student’s questions finally had to be cut off at the end of the three hours. Mr. Moresco and the attorneys were amazed at the level of questions asked by the students. “I have given this same question-and-answer seminar at Harvard, Yale, USC, and UCLA and have never had more intelligent and insightful questions asked of me from any university student body,” remarked Mr. Moresco after the seminar. “These are the brightest and the most well-trained students I’ve seen anywhere.” Mr. Moresco indicated that he would like to shoot a film at G-Star Studios. “This is an amazing school. I haven’t seen anything like it. I want to come back with two films and shoot here.”
Mr. Moresco is the Executive Consultant on new professional/student cooperative film to be produced this summer at G-Star funded by the new G-Star Career & Education Scholarship Program where G-Star graduate students in college return to the school to produce a professional feature-length film. The film is entitled, Destiny and the Bulldozers. A second Oscar winner, Dean Lyon, is joining Mr. Moresco on the Destiny film as Special Effects Supervisor. Mr. Lyon won the Academy Award as Visual Special Effects Supervisor on all three Lord of the Rings movies. He also applied his craft to Independence Day, Armageddon and Air Force One. Mr. Lyon attended Mr. Moresco’s seminar also.
G-Star is the largest Film, TV Production and Acting high school in the nation; and the only high school in the world with a motion picture studio on campus. G-Star is building the largest motion picture sound stage in South Florida that will open in December of this year.
