Steffen Schlachtenhaufen's career is extensive, from the screenwriter of several independent movies ("Would You Rather," Danger One" and the upcoming sci-fi thriller, "The Mandela Effect") to creative director/producer for visual effects (for projects such as Nat Geo’s “Rocket City Rednecks,” History’s long running science series “The Universe,” and “Life After People"). "Big History" earned him an Emmy Award for Outstanding Graphic Design and Art Direction. Steffen shares with us his own Hollywood story, setting out from Wisconsin to Los Angeles simply because “this is where you go if you want to make movies." He offers his thoughts on today's nonfiction television industry, increasingly more focused on reality TV than traditional documentary programming.
