Cuba is getting better every day. The US embargo on the Island won't last forever, optimistic voices give it one or two more years, and then Cuba is just another Island in the sun.

The professional side is drawing more and more productions to Cuba, photographers and film makers enjoy the working spirit of the formerly socialist model pupils among Latin Americans. “Mañana” doesn´t exist if can be done today. Film and photo equipment rental contributes to the excellent professional standing that Havana has built up over the last 20 years, of which Take me to Cuba has taken part for the last 14.

Quick response times and the best location database in the business are only a few of Take me to Cuba's assets that make customers say "best production ever".

The film production house within Take me to Cuba (working title “El Central”) has just purchased two new cameras for their productions, thus underlining the professional filming ambience that encapsulates the Island: the Black Magic Cinema camera 2.5 K and the RED Scarlet. “El Central” is in charge of all of Red Bull’s video productions in and around Cuba, and even taking them in April to a set in Lima, Peru. Contact “El Central @ Take me to Cuba” to request reels and complete rental lists.

The Colombian Caribbean has a rich diversity of beach and city locations. Off the shores of Cartagena are a group of 28 beautiful Islands, surrounded by a reef that shelters them from large waves, and complete with wooden huts and villas, boutique hotels and Spas, driftwood and palm tree forests. The city itself looks like Havana, only on a smaller scale; it has preserved the colonial feel, even though outside the old city walls Cartagena boasts a modern downtown with a skyscraper skyline.

All of this, plus the UNESCO World Heritage status, sums-up an ideal backdrop for photo and film productions. Equally, the city can serve as an ideal “colonial” alternative to Cuba and the Dominican Republic, especially for US professionals who are not yet allowed to officially travel to Cuba.

Forget misconceptions about the Colombian Caribbean: Cartagena is posh, not hill-billy, sophisticated rather than rustic. And it's safe: the city is Colombia's window to the world and everybody moves freely and unconcerned.
