Winter Hymns Captures Real Endings | Spokane News

A hauntingly authentic new film, Winter Hymns, directed by Nathan Deming, is quietly exploding in theaters — selling out two Wisconsin Film Festival screenings in under an hour. Centered on a palliative care physician navigating raw, real end-of-life conversations, the film draws from Deming’s own father’s journey into compassionate care without cure. With a cast of real Wisconsinites — including a 92-year-old woman and a dairy farmer who milked cows before filming — Deming crafts an unflinching portrait of ordinary people facing mortality. Now heading to Spokane, this intimate, human-centered story challenges us to see death not as a failure, but as a shared, sacred part of life.
