John Garbett and Gerald Molen first worked together in 1992 at Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.  As the LA-based producer of Shrek for Dreamworks SKG, Garbett was responsible for the project's overall development.  He spent eight years as an executive for the Walt Disney Company supervising the production of pictures such as Father of the Bride, Oscar, Three Men and A Little Lady, Alive and over twenty-five family-themed films for the Disney Sunday Movie.

Steven Ramirez (Editor/Associate Producer) Steven Ramirez has been a feature film editor for over twenty years working on such projects as Driving Miss Daisy, Being There, The Chamber, Cocoon -- the Return, Big Trouble in Little China, Devil's Advocate, Leap of Faith, Dolores Claiborne, Intersection, Rush, Pacific Heights, Double Jeopardy, The Running Man, and Weird Science.

Academy Award-winning producer GERALD MOLEN (Schindler's List) broke into the film business in 1957 with a job in Republic Studio's transportation department.  It was the realization of a boyhood dream that began when his father opened a small restaurant across the street from the same Studio City lot.  Two years later, Molen moved to Universal Studios and, in 1967, he was named Head of the Transportation Department.  After a seven-year stint at Universal, he went on to work as Transportation Coordinator on the production of such films as Bound for Glory, Coming Home, Being There, Ordinary People, and Absence of Malice.

Molen went on to join the Directors Guild of America as a Unit Production Manager and served in that capacity on such films as The Postman Always Rings Twice, Tootsie, A Soldier's Story, and The Color Purple.  He earned the additional credit of Associate Producer on Batteries Not Included, Executive Producer on Bright Lights, Big City, and Days of Thunder and Co-Producer on Rain Man.

Molen's first producing credit was on the film Hook in 1990. He then joined Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment as its Head of Production.  In that capacity he also served as Executive Producer on The Flintstones, Little Rascals, Casper, Little Giants, and Twister among others.  In addition, Molen served as producer on Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park: The Lost World.

Three months after wrapping Jurassic Park Molen left for Europe to produce Schindler's List with Branko Lustig.  In March 1994, he and Lustig were awarded the Oscar for Best Picture  one of the film's countless accolades.

Molen has also worked in front of the camera. He first appeared in the role of Dr. Bruner in Rain Man and subsequently acted in Days of Thunder, Jurassic Park, and Amistad.  He plays the role of Groberg's first mission president in The Other side of Heaven.

In the past several years, Molen has devoted much of his time to organizations specializing in educational and humanitarian causes and serves on numerous boards.  He can often be found lecturing to university students and is a frequent speaker on the subject of the Holocaust.  He is especially proud of his involvement in the beginnings of the Survivors of the Shoah History Foundation.  Molen holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Montana.
