Timeline

1900

The film hybridizes multiple literary sources: Theodore Dreiser's Chicago novel of the same name (1900), Alexandre Dumas' (Fils) "La Dame aux Camélias" (1848), Abbé Prévost's "Manon Lescaut" (1731), and Sherwood Anderson's "Brothers" (1921).

The film features Eve Rydberg as Carrie and internationally known ballet performer Fabrice Calmels as Armand Duval.

1919

Nearing followed those projects up with his original script Hogtown, a murder mystery set against the backdrop of the 1919 Chicago race riots.

This film reveals the collective influence the works Sherwood Anderson, EL Doctorow and Michael Ondaatje have had on Nearing's work.

Hogtown was filmed on location in Illinois, Indiana, Ontario and Paris.

The film stars Herman Wilkins, Diandra Lyle, McKenzie Chinn, Pete Giovagnoli, Dianne Bischoff, Alexander Sharon and Marco Garcia.

The film made its US debut at Chicago's Gene Siskel Film Center.

Bill Stamets of The Chicago Sun-Times has called it "the most original film made in Chicago about Chicago to date."

Nearing is presently (2021) finalizing Sister Carrie, a romantic drama set in Chicago, Montréal and Paris in 1919.

1961

Daniel Nearing (born December 21, 1961) is a Chicago, Illinois-based director, screenwriter, and independent filmmaker.

2008

He shifted his focus to dramatic projects and founded 9:23 Films in 2008, feeling that documentary filmmaking "does not allow such direct access to deeper truths."

After several attempts at a faithful adaptation of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, with collaborator Rudy Thauberger, the script and its production finally clicked when Nearing decided to set the rural period piece in a contemporary city.

2009

Chicago Heights was shot for just $1,000 in 2009.

Chicago Heights premiered in competition at the Busan International Film Festival and was named Best Film in a Fine Arts Discipline at the Berlin Black Film Festival.

2010

His earlier breakthrough film, the micro-budget production Chicago Heights (2010) garnered rave reviews, especially among fans of the original source material, Sherwood Anderson's influential collection of short stories, Winesburg, Ohio, a book long thought impossible to be adapted as a film.

Noted film critic Roger Ebert included Chicago Heights in his list of the Top Art Films of 2010.

Nearing's storytelling style tends to be more circular than linear.

He views plot as a veneer that ties together the more important, character-centered aspects of any story.

Nearing is known for building sequences of vignettes and using powerful imagery to focus on the isolation and humility of human life.

He works primarily in black and white, with moments of what he refers to as "ecstatic color" and with heavily shadowed, "idiosyncratic" shot compositions.

Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune says that "Nearing's chosen way of telling a story is poetic, elliptical and sometimes unhelpfully indirect, but if he chooses, this Canadian-born, Chicago-based filmmaker could very well become a significant and lasting talent."

Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times says Nearing "is not the most accessible filmmaker, but with his new feature and his previous one, he has carved out an original and boldly unfashionable niche."

Nearing studied for his MA in modern and contemporary literature at the University of Toronto, and went on to earn an MFA in film from Toronto's York University, and served as producer resident at the Canadian Film Centre.

He has studied under Northrop Frye (Anatomy of Criticism) and Michael Ondaatje (The English Patient).

He began his film career as a documentary filmmaker, making narrative-driven documentaries for both Canadian and U.S. outlets such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Discovery Networks, The Sports Network and Bravo.

His subjects have included juvenile homicide, the longest bridge in the world over ice-forming waters, Russians playing in the National Hockey League, and the stagecraft of some of the world's finest writers.

2011

In 2011 Nearing adapted Rudy Thauberger's Goalie, a widely anthologized Canadian short story about hockey and obsession.

The film had its world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival in Fall 2011.

2016

Hogtown, his "period-less" American film, has been called "the most original film made in Chicago about Chicago to date" and named one of the 10 Best Films of 2016 by Ben Kenigsberg, who reviewed the film for The New York Times.

Nearing was named the inaugural Filmmaker in Residence for the City of Chicago (Chicago Film Office, Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events) and Chicagoan of the Year for Film (2016–17) by the Chicago Tribune
