Located in Palm Springs, Florida (West Palm Beach), G-Star
Studios is Florida’s largest motion picture studio with over
110,000 sq. ft. under roof in its motion picture complex.
Uniquely, G-Star is the only movie studio with an
1100-student high school on its back lot, the G-Star School
of the Arts for Motion Pictures and Broadcasting (please
visit www.gstarschool.org home page to view an NBC Today
Show segment on the School and Studios). G-Star Studios
offers the use of its facilities for a minimal charge to Producers
when they utilize the students as interns on their sets. The
Studios also feature Florida’s largest Sound Stage which
opened one year ago. It is a copy of a Warner Bros. sound
stage; and it is the most technologically advanced sound
stage in the world. The G-Star Sound Stage 1 is one of the
lowest priced sound stages in the USA when student interns
are used due to its educational value. Add to those 47 miles
of Intra-coastal waterway, the island of Palm Beach to the
East and Wellington, the international equestrian capital of
the world, to the West plus the most fabulous beaches in
America – you have a prime destination to produce almost any
film.
The State of Florida Legislature implemented a five-year
$242 million Film Incentive with up to 30% in transferable
tax credits. Palm Beach County is very film-friendly. The
Film Commission offers at no charge One-Stop 24-hour
Permitting and free location scouting. G-Star Studios works
with great companies such as CineVideoTech production
services (camera, grip, lighting, electric) along with other
great vendors. Cast, crew and equipment are readily
available around Palm Beach County for any production.
Productions at the G-Star Studios have included Celine Dion,
Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Tiger Woods, Shaquille
O’Neal, Rod Stewart, EA Sports, Nike, Abercrombie & Fitch,
Radiohead, Stevie Nicks, Digital Domain, Roger Daltrey,
Moody Blues, Comcast, NBC’s The Today Show, Mana, Romeo
Santos and more.

'Today' show puts Palm Springs charter school
students in spotlight
PALM SPRINGS — The kids at
G-Star School of the Arts for Motion Pictures
and Broadcasting are no strangers to working in
front of and behind the cameras.
The students, after all, are enrolled in a high
school that has partnered with an Oscar-winning
visual effects company and where over 50 feature
films have been produced since the school opened
in 2003 on an old water utilities plant on
Congress Avenue.
But on this unusually balmy March afternoon,
even savvy G-Star students are buzzing about the
national exposure they're about to receive as a
five-member crew from NBC's Today prepares to
tape a feature on the Palm Springs charter
school.
