When father-son duo Richard Batenburg Jr. and Rick Batenburg III were approached about turning their cannabis business into a reality TV series, they had an immediate question: Why?
Producers have been filming for the series, dubbed “High Science,” this week in Colorado, grabbing cinematic footage of the Batenburgs at work and in the open. While the show has not yet been picked up by a network, production on the eight-episode debut season is already well underway with several TV veterans attached, including Colorado-based producer Patrick Hackett. Executive producer David McKillop has won a pair of Primetime Emmy awards and produced titles such as “Duck Dynasty,” “Bates Motel,” “Longmire” and Storage Wars.
