THE EMPIRE OF HAVANA - A NEW FEATURE FILM TO BE DIRECTED BY GABRIEL BERISTAIN
It’s the late fifties and Havana is filled with glamour and excitement. It’s a world built by the mob, teetering on the edge. Will the smartest man in the underworld be able to consolidate the empire in time, before the revolutionary winds of change transform the island forever?

THE EMPIRE OF HAVANA, to be shot on location in the legendary architecture of the era, is a portrait of the last days of the U.S. mob in Dictator Batista’s Cuba, as seen through the eyes of a young croupier who was the personal driver of Meyer Lansky, the architect of the mafia’s overseas empire. By 1957, the ‘financier of the mob’, Meyer Lansky had already built enough hotels and casinos in Havana to produce and house the criminal proceeds of the U.S. mafia.

 

RON PERLMAN & THE HAVANA HARLISTAS
Cuban Harley riders - otherwise known as ‘Harlistas’ - have formed a distinct subculture that spans back more than half a century. Keeping these classic American bikes running during the embargo has taken extreme ingenuity and shown a love for a Classic American Icon. Ron Perlman, one of Hollywood’s most recognisable actors, was in Havana last month to shoot a trailer for the new series with the team in Cuba. Stay tuned for news of season one!
