It’s only been a short number of days and we’ve managed to get a few hundred views on the short little teaser trailer for the new Barton Police comedy series. It’s been a while since we’ve seen another video production update from Xavier Flores. You can watch the first one here and the second one here. So HINT HINT, Xavier - get another update up! Scott Lee can’t promote the series by himself! As a matter of fact, help from all the cast and crew would be magnificent. We got over 100 views within the first 24 hours, and that was good, but I think we’re going to need to really push things to a whole new level if we want to see this thing go where it really is capable of going.
This is Scott, by the way, Company Administrator, and I suppose this is almost like another article than a news post, but I have been very busy trying to actually get things done in my own life, I’ve been dealing with a lot of tedious chores and obstacles with a lot of things. Most importantly, we are really learning a much more social networking approach to promotion with these projects and I think that it is going to be a lot more effective. Anyway, below is the latest voice update regarding the new website for Barton Police, BartonPolice.com, which if you have not yet seen you definitely need to check it out. For those of you wondering about I’m Not Gonna Lie, we are still working on getting it out there and I promise I’m going to find some time this coming week.
And of course, there is also another voice update about Austin, Texas which is also pretty interesting. Most of it is me giving praise to Austin for being such an awesome city, but I think it’s also important because another detail I don’t think I’ve really mentioned too many places yet - Barton Ct. is going to be doing a promotional campaign in Austin, it’s something that we’re working toward. So far it’s been pushed back, along with a couple other things, to later on this summer but hopefully we’re going to be able to head out there the last week or July or the first week of August. If all else fails, we’ll just start taking day trips up there, because hotel rooms can get really expensive. If I had it my way I’d want to do a week long stay there where I spent most nights just out meeting people and telling them about it but the day trips look like they might be the better, cheaper option for us, even though we’ll be absolutely exhausted from being on the road.
Also very important: with the release of the first few episodes Stephen Wolfe and I are still planning on doing something along the lines of a 10 Year Anniversary party for Barton Ct. 2009 marks the first 10 years of the group’s existence. As a legitimate company, we’re not too old, only since 2006, but as an actual group, it’s been a remarkable decade long journey for many of the core members. That party will probably consist of lots of cool stuff going on, and if any of you were with us for Oscar Night 2004, it might be something like that but on a much bigger, cooler scale. We’ll have a screening of Not Gonna Lie going on there, of course, and probably a sneak peek at an episode of Barton Police before the rest of the public gets to see it.
So much of what we’ve been doing has really been bringing everything full circle since we started. A lot of the originals that used to really not want to work with us anymore seem to have become a little more won over lately.
Kayla Murray did a scene with us for Barton Police and she did an outstanding job, for instance. James Monaghan is also in talks to come back for a cameo, but we’ll see what happens with that. You can click their names to see their Barton Ct. Database entries. I’m going to be doing another revamp and massive update with the database as soon as we’re done with this massive frenzy of stuff we’re releasing too, so you can look forward to that after the end of the summer. Stay tuned!
