Lost City is a film Andy Garcia both acted in and directed. It is set in Havana Cuba during the days ( 1958/59) before, during and after the Castro revolution. It is so sad to see how Garcia and his family is affected by the events of that time. If you want to know what truly is in the heart of a freedom-loving Cuban, you should see this wonderful film. The scenery and music made me feel like I was right there in Havana, Cuba when these historic events were taking place. I tell you, this film will leave you heartbroken. This was obviously a labour of love for Andy.

I found this a interesting film. I do enjoy historicaly accurate films and this seemed to be that way. I certainly don't pretend to know all that went on in Cuba pre Castro but I do know some. The only thing I didn't get was Bill Murrays part. All this being said this is not a film for everyone.Comment

In answer to my own question, I would say between $10,000 and $40,000 dollars. It used to be more but digital has drastically lowered the cost while at the same time making it much easier to produce a professional look.
However, this isn’t a story about reasonable. This is the true... -
Now we all have learned that at the beginning of each day you are given your pages of the days work. For me that means I can figure out how I am going to utilize my crew and plan my day. The more I can get ahead of the company with pre-lighting the more time I can save production. And in film time is...06 September 2016, 17:26 Tuesday
