Director Nathan Deming, a Wisconsin native, picked up a Golden Badger Award at the 2024 Wisconsin Film Festival for February, the second in a series planned to include a film for each month of the year. February tells the story of a Mexican immigrant living and working in Tomah, who begins to find his place in the community via ice fishing. This winter Deming is back in Wisconsin on a tour featuring a screening of the film along with a Q&A session; the Cinematheque stop is free, but you can RSVP at februaryfilm.com.
media release: Come join us for a special screening of FEBRUARY at the Cinematheque at UW-Madison! Followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. The short, independent drama “February” is the second film in director Nathan Deming’s 12-episode project featuring a movie named for each month of the year. The Los Angeles-based Tomah native is spending his month screening the latest installment in 17 locations across Wisconsin.
“February” is the story of Miguel (David Ezekiel Duran), an immigrant from Mexico. He’s having trouble finding his niche in frigid Tomah, until he meets Carl (Ritchie Jordan), a veteran of many Wisconsin winters who teaches Miguel to ice fish.
