NICK BARTON talks the Old West, the Dalton Gang and DEATH ALLEY – Exclusive interview

 

Writer/Director NICK BARTON goes in-depth in this exclusive conversation talking about the Old West and his latest film – DEATH ALLEY!

You’ve heard of Jesse James, Belle Starr, the James-Younger gang? But what about the Dalton Gang? While so often glossed over in the history books, the Daltons tried to pull off the impossible on October 5, 1892 – rob two banks in the same town. Only Emmett Dalton lived to tell about that day. This is the Daltons’ story of their final 48 hours before their demise in Coffeyville.

Nick out his cinematic six-shooter going in-depth on the appeal of the Western, the Daltons’ story, story construct, challenges of working with horses/actors/pyrotechnics/gunfights, developing a visual tonal bandwidth with lighting and lensing, working with his actors (who did their own stunt work), editing, scoring, and more!
