What better place to engage in guerrilla film making than right in the home of the iconic anti-American imperialist guerrilla rebels Che Guevara and his cigar-smoking amigo Fidel Castro, Havana, Cuba.
Little did we realize that for many of us--this would be our first and last trip to Havana.
Our mission was to fly into the belly of the communist/socialist beast and film the movie, ‘WingMan’.
We planned on nailing this full five-day shoot on the streets of Havana without the Castro government’s prior approval or permission.
We knew in advance after our last shooting day, by government decree, all foreign and domestic artists would need a government license in order to create or perform their art. And that all art in Cuba had to be vetted in advance by this totalitarian regime.
We were not going to go down that censorious rabbit hole. No way, Jose!
