Nathan Deming is an American filmmaker from Wisconsin. He studied directing and screenwriting at the London Film School.
Career
Deming directed the feature film Speaking in Tongues, which premiered at the 2018 Austin Film Festival.[1][2][3]
He later began a long-term project titled the Year Project, a series of films set in Wisconsin and based on the months of the year. The Wisconsin State Journal described the project as "a 12-movie celebration of Wisconsin life."[4]. The second installment, February, premiered at the 2024 Wisconsin Film Festival, where it won the Golden Badger Award and the Audience Choice Award.[5] The film follows Miguel, a young Mexican immigrant living in rural Wisconsin and struggling to fit in until discovering ice fishing. Gisela Orozco of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that the film "shows how an immigrant discovers a new way of life, traditions, and friendships" and that "the very differences that are so often questioned are what unite a small town."[6]
In 2025, Deming wrote and directed Winter Hymns, produced and filmed in Wisconsin. The film stars Colleen Madden, Tara Mallen, Ashley C. Williams, and Brian Huskey.[7][8][9]
Advocacy
Deming participated in efforts with Action! Wisconsin, a statewide advocacy group, to restore film incentives in Wisconsin, which was successful[10].
