जीवनी
Born to Lisa and Richard Barton in a small Kansas farm community, Nicholas and his brother grew up playing several sports, singing, enjoying the outdoors, and performing community theatre. Barton earned his degree in philosophy in 2006, followed by an M.A. in Communication from Kansas State University. While working at the Boys & Girls Clubs during school, he competed on the Debate and Speech Team. During this time, he gained notoriety as the national runner-up in Dramatic Interpretation as well as other interpretative and speech-based events. Nicholas began his film and video career in 2008 as a producer for CMT and A&E and compiled producing and editing stints for ESPN, HBOsports, NatGeo, TLC, TVGN, NFL Network, Showtime, and Discovery. In 2013, he wrote and directed his first feature film "Wichita." Two years later, he wrote and directed the feature film "Hyde Park" based on the true story of one of the bloodiest gunfights in the Wild west. The film was acquired by Grindstone Entertainment (a division of Lionsgate) for worldwide distribution and is released under the international title "Deadman Standing." His upcoming feature "Death Alley" tells the story of the infamous Dalton Gang's last ride.
A stubbornly-independent filmmaker, Barton enjoys being hands-on, immersing into almost every facet of the production process. As co-owner of Wrecking Crew Productions, Prestigious Films, and Pin Oak Productions, he remains constantly in motion. An avid sports fan, a gardener, and a lifelong wildlife enthusiast, Barton spends what little free time he has, with his family, in the gym or with his dog. A proud new Texan, Barton resides in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
