3 DAYS IN HAVANA<br />
Co-Directors: Tony Pantages & Gil Bellows<br />
Cuba / 2013 / 78 min / HDCam /<br />
English + Spanish w/English sub-titles<br />
Some people would kill for three days in Havana.<br />
Jack Petty sits in an airport bar, nursing a drink.<br />
He’s on a stopover halfway to Havana, and so is<br />
the sexy lady who chats him up, giving him travel<br />
tips and whispering something scary in his ear. He’ll<br />
meet her again, in the midst of a conspiracy that includes<br />
assassination, kidnapping and more.<br />
This is a film with a lot of tradition behind it: some<br />
major Hitchcock (particularly Strangers on a Train<br />
and The 39 Steps); the wised-up dialogue of old<br />
film noir; and the gritty detail and sharp plot twists<br />
of contemporary thrillers. It’s all put across with high<br />
spirits, and the cast is stellar—highlights include<br />
Christopher Heyerdahl as a slick member of the<br />
Canadian Consulate, John Cassini as a ruthless<br />
mob boss, and Phyllida Law as… well, you’ll see.<br />
And there are many other colorful characters, none<br />
of them trustworthy, most of them with their sights<br />
set on poor Jack. He’ll have to outwit, outrun or outfight<br />
them all—a tall order for a mere businessman<br />
on a conference trip. But he’s surprisingly cool<br />
under pressure. The fun here comes not just from<br />
the close shaves and slick repartee but from the<br />
knowledge, quickly acquired, that nothing is what it<br />
seems. (courtesy of the Vancouver Film Festival)<br />

THE DIRECTORS: Gil Bellows & Tony Pantages met as young actors and forged a friendship and<br />
commitment to create highly crafted films together. Gil went on to act in projects like Shawshank Redemption<br />
and Ally McBeal as well as produce Temple Grandin. Tony directed, shot and produced award<br />
winning commercials, documentaries and music videos for INXS, Sarah McLachlan, Deadmau5 and<br />
other international acts. Their successes, humblings and lessons learned as actors, producers and<br />
filmmakers turned that burning desire to tell stories on the screen into a reality with their directorial<br />
debut, 3 Days In Havana.<br />
