“Wichita,” a Western/thriller motion picture filmed in Kansas, will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday, May 2, at the Crest Theater in Great Bend. Admission is $10 and doors open at 6:30 p.m.The movie is written and directed by Great Bend native Nicholas Barton, son of Richard and Lisa Barton.As a Great Bend High School student, Barton used to tread the boards at the Crest for various local theatrical productions. Now, as co-owner of Prestigious Films in Wichita, Barton is excited that his first feature-length film will be shown at the same historic theater.With a $500,000 budget, Barton says his Kansas crew was able to produce a professional movie that would have cost a California or New York production company several million dollars.
