Stephen Wolfe in Austin, Texas Tracy Collins Photography
After almost two years in the making Barton Police is finally coming to a stage that resembles some form of completion. Meanwhile, Director Stephen Wolfe has begun work on a new film with working title: Midnight Abyss and plans to enter it into one particular horror film festival. While Midnight Abyss is not a Barton Ct. project, there is discussion continuously taking place over the course of the production that could very well lead to the film getting “picked up” by Barton Ct. Stephen Wolfe’s new film is being co-directed by his girlfriend Tracy Collins and new producer Chris Kuhlman. Will Sheffield, who plays a role on the final episode of Barton Police, will make an appearance along with a couple other newcomers. All in all, the majority of the team associated with Midnight Abyss is a brand new team - an almost entirely new cast and crew.
At the very least, viewers can look forward to a very pristine visual experience for Midnight Abyss; the film is shot on a Canon XL AH1, one of the high grade “prosumer” high definition cameras from Canon, courtesy of producer Chris Kuhlman, who is primarily a photographer in his prior work. Tracy Collins, co-directing, also has a strong interest in photography. Combining the directing/producing team for this film, you can expect it to have, at the very least, a remarkable visual splendor.
Justin Herman has appeared in production photos of the film’s early stages but not as the zany, cynical police officer A.J. Jenkins that viewers know him as from Barton Police, or the lip synching victim of being cheated on in the Barton Ct. tribute video for Breathe Carolina. Instead, he appears to be a production assistant sporting a Barton Ct. Productions t-shirt. Justin Herman has kept himself busy with acting, however, and has even begun a new YouTube channel entitled CCJ Videos. To assist in launching further growth in his career, Barton Ct. Productions will soon be designing a personal website for Justin Herman which will feature his entire filmography along with his own smaller projects.
Company Administrator Scott Lee who also serves as producer for Barton Police has been busy with projects outside of film, mostly wrapping up yet another semester toward his bachelor of arts degree in psychology from the University of Houston. His personal student and Barton Ct. assistant, Cody “Hitman” Gist, has also been under more intensive coaching sessions lately, working on all different aspects of personal development. Scott maintains a busy schedule - he recently completed motorcycle training, is preparing for final exams, will be taking a trip to California to go dirt biking in the summer, is working on the Barton Police DVD, and hopes to have his new book’s first draft completely written by the end of the year. The book he is working on, currently with the title: Survive, Replicate, Empower: The Science of Humanity’s Improvement is a major undertaking within itself, a book that should span over 300 pages packed full of scientific research and tools for better human development. Scott has also written articles for his previously abandoned personal development blog Scott Free Thinking lately, such as Why Christian Apologetics Died Years Ago and How I Lost an Inch Off My Waist From Eating Alone.
The new release dates for the latest Barton Ct. products such as the Membership April 29th, 2010 and the Barton Police DVD on May 17th are quickly approaching. While the entire Barton Police team is working on wrapping up the project, it also seems apparent that for the first time in a long while, some new things are under way by those associated with Barton Ct. Productions Inc. Even Xavier Flores, who plays Detective Alex Ramirez on Barton Police, is in talks with Barton Ct. to do his new online show.
