Nico Holthaus (born Nicholas Holthaus; August 4, 1971) is an independent American autodidact/polymath, writer, musician, filmmaker, producer of music, haunted attractions, and documentary and narrative films.

He has won critical acclaim as the executive producer of the national Main St. Inc series and Dear America, a documentary that promotes Senator Mike Gravel’s National Initiative for Democracy, featuring Direct democracy proponents such as Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, Pete Seeger, Max Brooks, production members of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series, ex-Nirvana bassist and chairman of FairVote Krist Novoselic and Chancellors, Senators, Representatives and other notable public figures around the world.

Born in Belleville, Illinois, to Edwin, a second generation German heavy equipment operator, and Susan Salatino, a second generation Italian medical transcriptionist.

1989

At age 16 his mother left his father and moved him and his sister, Becky, to Arlington Heights, where he graduated from Buffalo Grove High School in 1989.

He briefly played football and baseball at Illinois College, in Jacksonville, Illinois.

As a teen and in his early 20s, he traveled the Midwest, living briefly in different locales such as Rockford, IL and Milwaukee, WI.

From 1989 to 1993 he modeled for various agencies around the Chicago and St. Louis areas, and began writing short stories, novels and music.

1991

In 1991, he co-founded and was frontman-singer for The Canaille, an alternative rock band, later to be known as Dorian Grey.

1993

In 1993, he moved to Tempe, Arizona, to become part of the burgeoning Tempe music scene, and eventually befriending and/or working with members of Gin Blossoms, Dead Hot Workshop, The Refreshments, Meat Puppets, Flathead, Gloritone, Chicken, Walt Richardson and Hans Olson, et al., in different capacities.

1995

He was a tutor in the Arizona State University Writing Center from 1995-1997, focusing on English composition, grammar and ESL.

1997

In 1997, he received his Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, and minored in Anthropology at Arizona State University, graduating cum laude.

He worked as a technician at Avnet CMG (Chandler, AZ facility), building computers, servers and peripherals.

1999

In 1999, he began writing, producing and directing his first feature film, Dante's Arizona, a tongue-in-cheek title for a story based loosely on Dante's Inferno, and starring Aja Evans, Hans Olson, Paul Cook and himself, and implementing music from local AZ musicians Hans Olson, Flathead, Dead Hot Workshop, Gloritone, members of Gin Blossoms, and others.

2000

In 2000, he returned to Arizona State University to pursue a master's in Film and Media Studies.

It was during this transition period that he befriended filmmakers, and he bought his first broadcast quality video camera, and began shooting venues he played at or attended in Tempe.

Years later he would compile this footage, begin interviewing Tempe's popular cultural and political leaders, and assemble all these into the highly regarded Mill Ave Inc documentary, which chronicled Tempe's corporate hegemony, and effectively aided in closing the doors of several "big box" chain stores, and helping independents move back on to Mill Avenue.

In 2000, he became proofreader/editor of the Superstition Mountain Historical Society Journal, a position he currently retains as of this writing.

The SMSH Journal is a quarterly publication featuring articles on Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine and other Arizona historical legends, places and events written by various authors and historians such as Marshall Trimble, Clay Worst and Tom Kollenborn.

2005

After the deaths of five people involved in the making of the film, and his mother's passing from cancer, it was finally released in 2005, to a limited number of screenings.

2008

In 2008, he approached Senator Mike Gravel to volunteer as a proofreader for his Presidential campaign and platform.

Soon after, he was asked to be the executive producer of Dear America, a documentary discussing the National Initiative for Democracy, a constitutional amendment proposal that would effectively act as a check and balance against the current three branches of US government, and wherein the people could enact legislation themselves, without Congress or corporate influence.

This documentary is slated for a Summer, 2022 international release date.

With the critical success of Mill Ave Inc in 2008 Holthaus began a national series focusing on the socio-cultural and economic pitfalls of corporate “big box” chain stores in the downtowns of different cities.

In 2008, he was elected to the Board of the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame.

2009

In 2009, Holthaus was asked to film a documentary investigating political corruption in Montana.

2010

The result was the controversial Beneath the Beauty (2010), which documented concerns from questionable real estate development deals to alleged police brutality cases and MT Senator Max Baucus's apparent collusion with pharmaceutical corporations in drafting the "Obamacare" health care bill.

2011

Its immediate followup was The Avenue (aka 4th Ave Inc), a Tucson documentary directed by Alan Williams and edited by Chris Valentine (editor and co-producer of Mill Ave Inc, Beneath the Beauty), which won AIFF's “Best AZ Film of 2011” award.

St Louis's Delmar Inc, Austin’s 6th St Inc, and several other cities have begun shooting their segments in the series, as of this writing.

In the Fall of 2011, Holthaus earned his Masters of Fine Arts degree (summa cum laude) in Film and Media Studies, taught as a TA and RA, and designed two Film and Media courses for the University of Montana.

2013

In 2013, he successfully completed Stuck Outside of Phoenix, a feature-length drama based on the internationally renowned Tempe music scene of the 1990s, as encapsulated by the Art Edwards (co-founder and co-writer of The Refreshments) novel of the same name.

He is currently producing a feature Western thriller based on the Montana Vigilantes, and a Western horror, The Dark West, featuring stars such as Blanchard Ryan (Open Water, Broken Lizard comedies), and Richard Fortus (guitarist for Guns N' Roses).

Holthaus is also known for various Halloween-themed enterprises, including producing and directing haunted houses and giving tours of haunted places across the country.

2016

In 2016, he began his PhD in American Studies, his dissertation focusing on the parallel between popular "dark" post-9/11 TV shows and US legislation, policies and resultant culture.

2017

Due to disabling health developments in 2017, he will likely discontinue physical production of haunts, but will serve as consultant for others' haunts and continue his personal and academic work as Halloween/holiday historian and writer.

2018

In addition to haunt production, he has designed 6'-8' custom Halloween Trees for public sales, and wrote a Halloween children's book, Poof’s First Halloween, with illustrator Kirstin Garber, to be published in September 2018.
