What a magical evening at the LA premiere of @thelastdealmovie at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. I’ve truly been blessed to be surrounded by this cast and crew that made it all possible and elevate this wild idea I had into this amazing final product. And to my amazing wife @gisetteg for all her support and talking me off cliffs along the way.

Thank you to @danceswithfilms and everyone that came out to our screening and packed the house! We sold more tickets than any single screening of Jurassic Park that Friday night at the Chinese. Quirky fact but I’ll take it!

There’s something magical about walking through the tunnel into Fenway. Don’t ask me how magical the team is though. #fenway #fenwaypark #bostonredsox by @jonathan.salemi

Coming to select theaters and available to rent on Nov 15th; I had the pleasure of being one of the producers on DARUMA. A feature drama Executive Produced by Peter Farrelly (THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, GREEN BOOK) the film is about a man who enlists the help of his cantankerous double amputee neighbor to transport the four-year-old daughter, he never knew he had, to live with her maternal grandparents on the other side of the country.

Big congratulations to @dp_yellen and @kellimcneilyellen who put their heart and souls into this project, @jodibinstock as well as the entire cast including @tobiaseasyforrest who received the Christopher Reeve Acting Award, @jwlawson57 @hawkabigail and the entire crew. I’m so honored to have played some small part in this authentically casted film.

Go to www.DarumaMovie.com for more info and watch starting this Friday! @darumamovie

If I could tell 10 year old me, wearing 1980’s neon Macho Man sunglasses, he’d have a movie on tv and it’s about marijuana with a synthwave soundtrack, little Jonathan would be pretty stoked.

You can stream @thelastdealmovie today on @starz and watch next week on TV! We’re the Saturday night movie on June 10th!!! 🤯 Hope you can check it out! DVR it today!

Btw our entire camera and lighting package fit in the back of a KIA. Don’t let anyone ever tell you something is impossible! Find your team and make it happen! (Unsolicited inspirational message)

Very excited to share that The Last Deal will be on Starz starting June 1st! Thank you Jordan, Gato and Zach at @snrfilms for making it happen and @starz for including us on your hit movie platform!

My goal in making this film was to create something engaging enough that as many people around the world would be able to watch. I wanted everyone to see it! I couldn’t be more humbled and grateful that another piece of that has gotten unlocked.

None of it is possible without the creative and dedicated efforts of the entire cast, crew and musicians, the people that found and lent locations, the investors that fueled the dream and my wife, family and friends that support along the way.

Teamwork forever makes the dream work!!!

And the 🚂 keeps chuggin’!!!

Such an incredible honor @thelastdealmovie is featured today in the New York Times! I found out about this last week and thought it was a prank. I only believed it today when I saw the article. A huge testament to all the cast and crew that worked so hard on this, and to believing in a goal that you go full throttle on without ever holding back. Thank you Robert Daniels, @nytimes @snrfilms and everyone that pulled favors to make this movie happen. Don’t get lost in the weeds! Watch @thelastdealmovie today on Amazon! 😊
