Stephanie Soechtig is an award-winning writer, producer and documentary film director. Her most recent film, FED UP premiered at Sundance where it was acquired by Radius/TWC and received a wide theatrical release. A New York Times Critic's Pick, many have likened FED UP to Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth for the way we eat; it spotlights our addiction to sugar and the ensuing obesity epidemic, and succeeds in bringing the issue into the mainstream.
Stephanie's directorial debut documentary, Tapped focused on the high cost -- to both the environment and our health -- of the bottled water industry. Hailed by critics as “stunning” and “whip-smart,” Tapped swept film festivals across the country while picking up six awards for Best Documentary Feature.
Dubbed by Fortune Magazine as one of the "Most Innovative Women in Food and Drink,"Stephanie has also directed political campaign commercials, short films and viral videos for nonprofit groups including Environmental Working Group and Food and Water Watch.
A graduate of New York University, Stephanie began her career in television, producing documentaries for 20/20, Primetime Live, The O’Reilly Factor, and VH1. She joined forces with Michael and Michelle Walrath in 2008 to start Atlas Films.
