To me, the best part about making movies is the journey from,
the blank page, to the darkened theater with an audience.
A blank piece of paper has never intimidated me, in fact, quite the opposite is true. Yes it is frustrating, and yes it is difficult, but never has it been intimidating. Although, for those who have never attempted writing before, I can imagine that it must seem easy, and I encourage those people to attempt to write something, ANYTHING, and find the humbling nature of creativity ALONE in a room, OR, it's great satisfaction! It's a wonderfully terrifying roller coaster...lol
A blank piece of paper is a magical thing to me though. It can turn into a movie script, a song, a novel, a play, a love note, a ransom note, and on a bad day a paper airplane, OR, even the Declaration of Independence.
After all the hard work, the lack of sleep, the fighting, the endless questions & answers, the mental travel, and the character surprises, comes the the big show.
Being in the audience listening to the laughs and the screams or watching someone wiping away tears of joy or sorrow, because of something that you created, in your mind, on a blank piece of paper, well, I don't have any children yet, but it has to be close to that level of satisfaction & pure JOY!
AND THEN YOU DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, BECAUSE, IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL JOURNEY!!!

Marquette Williams Corner
What I often admire is how our team at GHS can band together in three days and meet an amazing deadline for a meeting with WME. There are times where I ask for things with a short turn around. And we all feel the heat of completion and the desire to reach our goal. There are times where I may reach beyond what is to naturally be expected of my staff and ask of their own time in order to make us all shine. I have come to appreciate these moments. These are the times where I personally witness our greatness and our perseverance to become the prolific artists we are inside. We run toward our destiny like a child racing in the rain. To ambitious to even consider failing and to stubborn to allow these mile high hurdles to stop us. For me this is the company that we have built and I am proud to say I am apart of it. - Marquette

The Creative Mind
"Some days we sit and focus on the next big film or the next big hit and seemingly forget why we began this journey as artists. That fascination with making something special and unique to ourselves and our vision. The thing inside of us that inspires us to dream and live within our own minds. A glorious splendor of the elusive Alpha state where creative bliss is interlaced with the common morality of the business of art."

My Internship Experience @ GHS!
Today was my last day at GHS, and since I didn't get to say good-bye to everyone, so I at least wanted to send my thoughts about my time here.
I remember I was really excited about this internship when I first found out about it, but at first I did feel a little uncomfortable and shy. This feeling didn't last long however; you guys made me feel welcomed and at home, and soon enough I began looking forward to each day I got to spend in the studio. There was a lot of work to do, but you guys were always so patient with me and always had some kind and funny words to say. It's safe to say that this was the first time I was in a professional environment with so many creative people, and I will never forget that, nor will I forget how warm and inviting GHS has been.
So thank you for giving me this opportunity to work with you all, and thank you for treating me so well these past months. I'll definitely visit in the future, and I wish only for the best and brightest future for GHS!
Sincerely,
Diana Huh
