Two Cuban actors who defect to the US in their new film have allegedly defected to the US while en route to the premiere of the film at the TriBeCa Film Festival. Well, they do say life imitates art.

The film's writer and director, Lucy Mulloy, apparently had no clue - as she told The Huffington Post, "I really was thinking that they were going to come here and enjoy the festival, and I thought they would love to participate in it. They made a decision, I guess ... I just hope that they're safe and well."
According to a state department official, "We are aware of the reports but we don't have any further information. We have not been in contact with the film festival organizers or the Cuban actors."
