Tuttle was assistant to the president at
Focus Features from March 2005 to March 2007. Although not cited on IMDB, he is listed on several sites as having worked on Evan Coyne Maloney's 2007 documentary
Indoctrinate U. Some sources give him a “designed and edited by” credit on the film. According to Documentary Wire, he edited the film. Other sources credit him and Blaine Greenberg with writing the music. In a 2008 interview with
Sonny Bunch of Doublethink Magazine, Tuttle said that after being shown a rough cut of
Indoctrinate U, he told the filmmakers that “the reason you’re having difficulty getting feedback and making progress here is because it really hasn’t gotten a critical mass....What you’re showing people isn’t really a movie.” Tuttle went back to the raw footage and, he said, “rebuilt the film from the ground up. … They gave me carte blanche.” According to Bunch, “Tuttle emerged from his editing bay” with “something that actually looked like a movie – a product that could be tinkered with and perfected before it was released.” Shortly thereafter, Tuttle was named a fellow of the Motion Picture Institute, which permitted him to leave Focus Features and work full-time on
2081 and other
MPI projects, to which he brought not only his film skills but his background in graphic design. Sonny Bunch of Doublethink Magazine called him “arguably MPI's most important asset.” As of 2013, according to one report, Tuttle was working on “a feature-length adaptation of
Robert A. Heinlein's Hugo Award-winning novel
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.” He is represented by
United Talent Agency and Management 360. An interviewer noted in 2008 that Tuttle was fond of quoting a sentence from
Ayn Rand's
Romantic Manifesto: “Art is a selective recreation of reality reflecting the artist’s metaphysical value judgments.” ==Other professional activities==
