February
Special DFF Screening Part Of The ‘Year Project’
The Driftless Film Festival is proud to present a special off-season screening of February, a film written and directed by Nathan Deming as a part of the “Year Project.” The film will screen Monday, February 17, at 6 pm at the Mineral Point Opera House. Advance tickets are $10 and $5 for students plus fees and are available at Eventbrite.
Miguel (David Duran) is a recent immigrant to a small Wisconsin town and struggling to fit in. His sister (Nayeli Hernandez) is worried about him, her husband (Erick Inestroza) less so — until a strange man (Ritchie Gordon) offers to take Miguel ice fishing.
Writer/Director Nathan Deming (Speaking in Tongues) continues his “Year Project” with DP Leo Purman (The Legend of the Vagabond Queen of Lagos) and producer Adam Stunkle (Purity Camp). Edited by Patricio de la Maza (Heat).
The “Year Project” is a 12 part series of films set in the same small town in Wisconsin, each inspired by the months of the year written & directed by Deming.
Inspired by the works of Mike Leigh and Sufjan Stevens, as well as Kieslowski’s 10-part Dekalog and Honore de Balzac’s novel series La Comédie Humaine, Nathan hopes to tell an interweaving series of stories that explore multiple strata of society through different perspectives and experiences all with the common backdrop of one town, Wisconsin, and the unifying elements of shared life we all have together: time, country, politics, culture, capitalism, globalism, religion, family and individual personality.
This is an ambitious and on-going project that is expected to happen in and around the rest of his career, going in sequential order — March is up next.

Sierra Hull
Widely considered one of acoustic music's most inventive artists.
In her first 25 years alone, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sierra Hull hit more milestones than many musicians accomplish in a lifetime. After making her Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 10, the Tennessee-bred virtuoso mandolinist played Carnegie Hall at age 12, then landed a deal with Rounder Records just a year later. Now 28-years-old, Hull is set to deliver her fourth full- length album, shedding light on the beauty and chaos and sometimes sorrow of getting older.
