Two weeks ago, Barton thought there was a zero chance the film festival would be canceled and as each day passed, the odds went up. “I had a brief moment thinking it was going to be a zombie zone,” Barton says until the City of Austin, Texas pulled the plug. “It’s definitely tough,” he said.
That was in 2015, by 2016, Pasternak had also been named one of Time’s Most Influential Teens of the year. As things take another turn, Pasternak sells his app and travels to India. Barton didn’t go with him, but this was where Pasternak stepped in, sending Barton photos and footage documenting his journey. “That was the hardest and most important moment and through the photos that Ben took on the iPhone, we were able to tell this visually dynamic story,” he says.
Barton admits he had gotten to the point where he was uncomfortable following Pasternak during the Monkey development phase. “It didn’t seem like it was going to be great and it wasn’t, but then Nuggs was this big moral awakening and he pivoted out of something negative into something negative,” Barton says of the challenge of following Pasternak throughout his journey.
