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!
