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.
