Nuchtern was president of August Films (established 1967), 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 (1976), 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."@en . .
