THE SCHOOL:

G-STAR operates a High School of the Arts with a full college preparatory education. The School offers a complete, certified and accredited high school education in all subjects, with advanced placement and honors courses, with each course integrated into the motion picture, television, and acting arts and sciences curriculum. For example: instead of students in English class writing essays, they write screenplays; in Geometry class they may learn 3-point lighting; computer class teaches film and TV editing; and so on, thus exposing every student every day to the world of television and film-making arts and sciences.

The skills necessary to produce the G-STAR Television Show are essential to the education of students in many curriculum disciplines. For example, a student must know mathematics - to understand using a camera (focal length, depth of field, aperture to light ratios, etc.); teamwork - to understand working within a production crew; public speaking - to stand before a camera; research and library skills - to be able to develop a project; the list goes on and on.

The film and television industries provide students with careers in many areas of interest.  If their hobby is sewing, they can make costumes; if they like music, they can do scoring; art: set design; auto mechanics: stunt picture cars (wreck'em, then fix'em up for the next scene); and if they like to make weird noises in class: sound effects! In addition, there is still photography, sound, graphics and much, much more.

MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTION

The G-STAR School of the Arts offers independent feature motion picture producers, with film production budgets of $1-to $10-million, the use of our motion picture production facilities. This attracts film production to our campus. In the first year the G-Star Motion Picture Studios opened, nine feature films were produced.  The majority of the film budgets are spent in Palm Beach County. We anticipate five or more feature films will be produced on the property per year, thus creating a true motion picture industry here in Palm Beach County that, over a five to seven year period, will contribute over $100 million to the Palm Beach County economy.

Each film production company is an Educational Partner and will be required to allow our students, under proper supervision, on the sets and in the editing rooms of their films. Students intern or apprentice on the film productions. This gives our students real-world education in the only film training process like it for high school students in the Country.
