Interview with Jonathan Salemi: Writer/Director of “The Last Deal”

Spoilers:

We were offered a fantastic opportunity to sit down with Jonathan Salemi, and pick his brain about writing, directing, and producing his film The Last Deal (out now). We talk about why he wanted to write this story, based on a real person and real events, as California ended its prohibition on marijuana. He enlightens us about what it takes to make such a great looking movie, filmed entirely without permits, in the middle of Los Angeles. We were excited to hear that the whole cast rallied around the decision, and it just elevated the intensity of this crime thriller. Check it out to hear why he started questioning his choices in a hardware store parking lot, with bolt cutters, zip-ties, and duffle bags in hand.

Thanks Jonathan for joining us! Check out his work @jonathan.salemi to support his next project (which sounds awesome).
