Ernie Els — South African Golfing Legend"If you look at the Desert Star vision for Namibia as a country and then look at the extent of the resources and benefits that this project will offer to international film producers – you can easily see how this development will attract top filmmakers from around the world, film celebrities, property investors and tourists - ultimately raising the awareness of Namibia as a destination while offering incredible job creation opportunities. There is no doubt that this project will work – it is going to do so much for Namibia. We (Ernie Els Design) are very excited just to be a small part of this amazing project”.
“I have met and spoken to so many actors through the game – actors who all love a good game of golf! So I know that this can only be a huge success. It will see Namibia recognized globally as an incredible country - a film destination, a tourism destination, a golfing destination and ultimately as Africa’s 'Hollywood'."
Frank Yablans — Hollywood Executive and former President of Paramount Pictures"I spent six years with (Walt) Disney and I have never seen anything like you are planning out in Namibia! It is an honor to be involved and I am also proud to announce that I am a property owner at the Desert Star Motion Picture Resort - so I'm putting my money where my mouth is!
You are going to create a major motion picture stop-off and there will be nothing like it in the world. Not even Hollywood can offer this because they don't have the variety of locations. Don't lose this opportunity – take it! Let's really sell this to the world. If you build it, they will come – believe me – Hollywood will come!"
Gerdus Burmeister — Chairman of Burmeister "While the Desert Star vision is highly ambitious, it is achievable and if the project develops in the way we currently foresee it, this development will be the most important event in the history of Namibia since its independence."
The Desert Star Studios and Luxury Motion Picture Resort represent a unique synergy between luxurious living, tourism & recreation and the film industry. This project aimed at bringing the world to spectacular Namibia, is fully supported by leading names in the sporting and film industries.
