Catch Your Breath Productions

Jon Saulmon

Any past acting experience?
I've only been acting since eigth grade, but since then I've been in twelve plays and three musicals. I graduated from the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter High School where I did the majority of my training and performing. This is my first film.

Is acting a career choice or do you have other plans?
Right now... acting is my only career choice ... deep breaths.

Any particular scenes in the shooting of this movie that were your favorite or least favorite to do?
Strangely, I think my two favorite scenes were the first break up scene we did that was sort of improvised, and ... the fight in the rain ... even though it felt like my blood was crystalizing, it was a real rush. My least favorite scenes to do were all the ones where I had to make out with Dave. He's a sloppy kisser.

Are there any particular actors or actresses that are your particular favorites or that you find inspirational?
Well, if we mean famous people, then there's a whole big list and it needs to be broken down into the old and the new. Just a couple names ... old ... Jimmy Stewart, Carey Grant, the Hepburn sisters, James Cagney, Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman, Humphrey Bogart ...
New ... Kevin Spacey, Ed Norton, Brad Pitt, Hank Azaria, Anthony Rapp ... ... Anthony Michael Hall ... ... ahem ...but, if we're talking about other actors or actresses in this film ... ever since Susan Daniels' acting classes, I've found Devon now and then to be somewhat inspirational. She's about fifty times better than she thinks she is.

And finally, A movie that's essential to any video or DVD collection in your opinion is...?
Well dammit, that's a tough question 'cause there's just so freakin' many ... I actually refuse to answer this question in the way it was intended, and I know you won't be all fascist about it, so I'll give you five that I think any decent human being should have ... It's A Wonderful Life, Dead Poet's Society, Casablanca, American Beauty, Rain Man, I guess maybe if I had to pick one single movie, it would be Casablanca.
