Submission declined on 12 December 2025 by Cabrils (talk). This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

• Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NCREATIVE) but presently it is not clear that it does.
  As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. In short, "notability" requires reliable sources about the subject, rather than by the subject.
  Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject, you must declare that on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). In instances of a conflict of interest, the review of the page needs to be handled with care, mindful of the higher bar set by pages produced in circumstances of such a conflict. Such pages typically may read too much like a promotional CV or advertorial (see WP:PROMO), which Wikipedia is not; and/or contain prose that is not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK and WP:NPV).
  Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page.
  It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
  It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX").
  Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page, including the name of the draft page, and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 06:41, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Nathan Deming is an American filmmaker from Wisconsin. He studied directing and screenwriting at the London Film School. His thesis film Dog Days screened at the Angers European First Film Festival (Premiers Plans) in Angers, France.^[1]

Deming directed the feature film Speaking in Tongues, which premiered at the 2018 Austin Film Festival.^[2][3][4]

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."^[5]

Deming's film February premiered at the 2024 Wisconsin Film Festival, where it won the Golden Badger Award and the Audience Choice Award.^[6] 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."^[7]

Alan Ng of Film Threat called February a "strangely sweet tale of friendship."^[8][9]

Tone Madison described the film as exploring "cultural assimilation and reciprocity" through its characters' relationships.^[10]

The film was shown across the state as part of a multi-city Wisconsin tour^[11] and Deming went on the Cripescast Podcast with Charlie Berens to discuss it.^[12]

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. Milwaukee Magazine and the Isthmus reported on the production and on Deming's approach to regional filmmaking.^[13][14][15]

Deming participated in efforts to restore film incentives in Wisconsin. He worked with Action! Wisconsin during the campaign for the 2025 bipartisan film tax credit, which was successful, and was interviewed about the effort in IndieWire, which discussed his role in the legislative process.^[16]
