Gil Bellows feature shooting in Havana
January 20, 2011 by Etan Vlessing
Gil Bellows is our man in Havana. The Canadian actor (pictured) is jointly writing, producing and directing the low-budget feature Gravity’s Pull in Vancouver and Havana with long-time friend Tony Pantages.
....
The homegrown thriller about a Canadian businessman who jumps on a plane to Cuba to empty his mind, only to find more adventure than he bargained for in the sunny paradise, this week saw production shift from Vancouver to the Caribbean island.

Cuba shines in Three Days in Havana's spy romp

....
Along the way, there are also quick visits with Canuck vets Don McKellar, John Cassini, Chris Heyerdahl, and Lauren Lee Smith, involved (or not) with various levels of subterfuge. Some scenes come off better than others, with an especially good bit going to Tygh Runyan, as a mobbed-up point man only slightly distracted by his ulcers.
