After relocating to Charlotte, NC, D. J. took an active role in the sketch comedy troupe “This, That, and the Other” in 2000. It was there that he first met Director A. Blaine Miller. In 2001, Blaine invited D. J. to join the production crew of the independent film “The Last Confederate” as the script supervisor and continuity. During filming, D .J. met Kathryn A. Taylor who he – along with Blaine – would later collaborate with on the film “P.O.V. (Point of View)” (2006) as casting director, script supervisor and continuity. D. J. worked with Blaine and Keith Sweeney as casting director, script supervisor and continuity for the promotional trailer for “Timing”, a project currently in development. Since filming the promotional trailer, D. J. has stepped into the role of Principal Casting Director within Dalliance Films. It was through his concerted efforts that the company was able to garner interest for “Timing” from Colin Ferguson and Sean Maher. D. J. continues his efforts to round out the principal cast with talent that complements the leads’ styles and looks while bringing additional star power to the film. D. J. discovered his love of writing after working as editor and contributing writer for the Virginia theater magazine entitled, On Stage. Since then he has written the feature-length script “Sweet Amber” and he has collaborated with Blaine on two others, “For Cole” and “Roster”. D. J. was the Associate Producer on Dalliance Films’ “Back in the Saddle” (2009) created for the 1st Annual Charlotte Film Community’s 72-Hour Film Challenge. He also worked as the Script and Continuity Supervisor on the set. The film was voted the winner of the competition by more than 300 Charlotte film industry professionals. He has served as Script and Continuity Supervisor on both Dalliance Films’ projects and with other independent film productions. These productions include the short films “P.O.V. (Point of View)” (2005), Image Impact Group’s “See the Dead” (2008), and Michael Sharpe’s “Monomaniacal” (2010), where he also served as Casting Director. Currently, D. J. is an IATSE 161 member working as a Script Supervisor and in 2014, relocated to Atlanta GA. For more info on D. J. Barton, check out: .J.Barton www.imdb.me/d.j.barton
