Simon Nuchtern
Simon Nuchtern is a Belgian-born American filmmaker who is based in New York. He has directed, written, and produced a number of low-budget and independent films since the 1960s.
His films include Cowards, a drama which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival; the 3D horror film Silent Madness ; and the action film Savage Dawn, starring Lance Henriksen, George Kennedy, and Karen Black.
Nuchtern was president of August Films, a production and post-production company. During the 1970s he was involved in the re-editing of several foreign-shot films prior to their distribution in the United States, notably the controversial Snuff, which was marketed to exploit rumors of the existence of real-life snuff films. Following the dissolution of August Films in 1989, he founded a smaller-scale film and video production company, Katina Productions.
He is married to artist Anna Thornhill.Selected filmography
