G-Star Studios, in cooperation with the Palm Beach County Film Commission (561-233-1000) and the Palm Beach County Convention and Visitors Bureau , offers you “turnkey production packages” that include one-stop permitting, locations, hotel accommodations, crew lists from recent productions filmed in Palm Beach County , area sound stages, and vendor support lists for every aspect of filmmaking. It also is excellent for a variety of shooting locations including hospitals, theaters, business offices, corporate entrances, warehouse, concert setups, picnic areas, fishing village, 1960's gas station, large parking areas, Louie's cage ala “Taxi”, etc.
In addition, your association with our non-profit organization allows us to offer IRS tax write-offs to owners of locations, vehicles, planes, etc., thereby giving your production company the ability to utilize these items for no charge in many cases. Filmmakers shooting at the G-Star Studios have garnered free locations such as mansions and business buildings; free airplanes, helicopters, and yachts, for example.
An important feature of this proposal is that in the process of raising money for a film project, we may help add to your already successful project financing. Having a viable studio location is compelling for investors. They can visit it. It puts bricks and mortar to a film proposal. In addition, G-Star is a non-profit organization with a public high school of the arts supported by local, regional and State politicians, Congressmen, school officials and business organizations. Our image is pristine and, we have found, all of this is very reassuring to investors. If you decide to shoot at the G-Star Studios, you will be free to include our location and facilities as part of your investor package.
All of Palm Beach County is our “back lot”. The Studios are 3 minutes from I-95, 8 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport , 15 minutes from the Turnpike and one mile from the Trump International Golf Club. We are not on a flight path or near a train track.
G-Star is inviting film production companies to use our production facilities for no charge by becoming an “educational partner” with us by:
-
Allowing G-Star students to visit your sets to observe and/or intern when you designate and under our strict supervision without any interference. Also, a very important note: G-Star carries full film production insurance . You do not have to increase your own insurance.
-
If there is a character(s) that is in the range of our acting students (12-20 years old), allow them to audition first – however, they are not to be given any preference – if they earn the part, that's great, but if they don't, that is fine.
-
You pay only for utilities, phone usage, housekeeping, and trash pickup. There is no additional cost .
-
We ask that as many above-the-line cast and crew as interested would consent to give a talk to our students about their craft in a classroom environment.
- We ask that you give G-STAR a “Special Thanks…” or “Filmed At…” end of film credit and a tag line on your one-sheet.
