5/16/2008

Recently over 600 filmmakers and industry professionals from Florida, LA and New York attended a celebration announcing the new sound stage. The event was sponsored by the Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission and the Palm Beach International Film Festival.



"G-Star Studios is one of Florida's greatest film incentives," states Film Commissioner Chuck Elderd.



“We offer our Studios and amenities for no charge to filmmakers,” states Greg Hauptner, the G-Star Studios founder and CEO. “Originally, our Studio was set up to cater to independent films budgeted up to ten million dollars. Our new sound stage is equal in size to the LA sound stages …”



The new sound stage will be added to the G-Star Studio's already existing 93,000 sq. ft. in ten buildings on property that is almost a mile long. The Studio's back lot contains a variety of props including a WWII DC-3 airplane, a WWII P-47 fighter plane, a 1978 American LaFrance fire engine (17 tons, 35 feet long), picture vehicles, production vehicles & trailers, SDMO R 75 generator with dual axle trailer, lighting and grip package, a 20' Mako boat with 200 hp Yamaha engine for location scouting and water shots, and much more.



Over twenty feature films have been produced at the G-Star Studios since its inception four years ago. Next up is the feature film, Son of Morning, starring Heather Graham, Tim Curry, and Barbara Hershey with pre-production scheduled for May 26th. Academy Award winning Executive Producer, Beau Rogers has two features in development planned for production at G-Star Studios.
