Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Nova Scotia

Bunker 6 is a 2013 Canadian psychological thriller film set in an alternate timeline in which a nuclear holocaust takes place during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Most of the film's action is set a decade later, inside a very large fallout shelter, in which a group of survivors are faced with the dilemma of continuing life in the shelter or facing the uncertainty of life in a world contaminated by radiation. Theatrically released, the film was also destined for television and "direct-to-video" release. Directed by Canadian writer and director Greg Jackson, in his first feature film, it stars Andrea Lee Norwood and Molly Dunsworth.

Production

The film was shot in February 2013 over a three-week shooting schedule on location in Debert, Nova Scotia, inside a two-level nuclear shelter, or "Diefenbunker". The opening sequence was shot in the Cambridge Military Library in Halifax. Not only the setting but all the cast and crew were from Nova Scotia.

The fallout shelter was constructed in the 1960s and built to house 350 people, but the cast and crew found that working underground in the massive centre for the length of the production was not only claustrophobic but also extremely tiring. The days began in darkness, the shooting took the rest of the day and when filming was finished, the cast and crew again left in darkness.
