Your new movie Don't
Make a Sound - in a few words, what's it about, and what can you
tell us about your character in it?
Don't
Make a Sound is about two
sisters who become the hunted prey of a deranged killer, who captures his victims on film.
My character happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, a
jogger who comes in the line of fire. What did you draw
upon to bring your character to life, and how much Dante B. Salazar can we
find in the jogger? I
mean I do like a good workout, although I did take a lot of inspiration
from old-school slashers like Friday the 13th chase
scenes in the woods.
How did you get involved with the project in the first place, what drew you to it? A
good friend recommended me to talk to the director, and I was lucky since
it was in the last minute and they still needed one more kill so to
speak. To what extent could you identify with Don't
Make a Sound's approach to horror? I do like the found footage format, it gives plenty of room for
imagination to run free, and it's pretty scary too. For myself I do
remember the good old days when being a kid, and me and my friends used
to sneak into the abandoned factories and old woods and run around, now
this was before cellphones and computers were a thing, so we did explore and
scared each other since we were a few close friends who loved horror movies. What can you
tell us about Don't Make
a Sound's director Jt Kris, and what was your collaboration like? Really
down-to-earth guy, good with directing and coming up with ideas on the
spot, also I was allowed to improvise and try out different things. You've
worked with Jt Kris before - so what can you tell us about your previous
collaborations, and how did you first meet even?
That would be Ouija Clown and latest the short movie for SRS
Cinema's Amityverse anthology,
We met at a little café and kind of started talking about horror movies,
and then we kind of never stopped, both huge fans - well, more nerds to be
honest -, the conversation about directors, genres, movies, characters can
always go on forever. So we kind of vibed directly from that point on. Back to
Don't Make a Sound
- a few words about the shoot as such, and the on-set atmosphere? The on-set atmosphere was great, it was in a forest on the
outskirts of the coast town where I live in, and being in Spain it was
not cold nor too hot a that time of the year. Any
future projects you'd like to share? The Arkansas Pigman
Massacre wrapped late summer last year, and I'm very exited about that one. Who doesn't like a good urban legend
with plenty of guts and blood everywhere. What got you into
acting in the first place, and did you receive any formal training on the subject?
I have a history with theatre, went to theatre school, which kind
of led to modeling which in later years turned to acting, so I guess I come kind of full circle.
Regarding training, it's always good to have some stamina and take care
of oneself, since most kind of these roles require some tossing, crawling
and running around. How would you describe yourself as an actor, and some of your techniques to
bring your characters to life? I do like method acting and from my theather days
I did study the
Stanislavski method, bit hardcore but it deff brings it all out. Actors (and indeed
actresses) who inspire you? Jamie Lee Curtis is a given as the scream queen she is, Robert
Englund [Robert Englund

Krueger an amazing actor, and Scream
would not be the same without Neve Campbell. Your favourite movies?

Carrie, Scream, Death
Proof, Cloverfield, and
I've always been a huge fan of David Lynch, and my favourite movie of all time is Mulholland
Drive, watched it so many times and never get tired to experience it again and
again. Your website, social media, whatever else?
I am old school, but you will find me on my Instagram: @mr_poet
Everyday life of a quirky nerd one could say. Anything else you're dying
to mention and I have merely forgotten to ask? I believe we got most covered,
I guess a piece of advice to
aspiring actors out there is to never give up on your dreams and
keep an open might. Meditate, set your intentions and manifest and don't
forget to smile. Thanks
for the interview!
