So Late So Soon is a 2020 American documentary film directed by Daniel Hymanson in his debut. It is a portrait of Chicago artists Jackie and Don Seiden in their later years as health issues jeopardize their life together in a multicolored Victorian house, which had become a work of art in itself over the course of their 50-year marriage – as well as an icon in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. Though primarily observational in form, the film includes several moments of interaction with Hymanson as well as scenes that draw on archival footage, some of which the Seidens recorded themselves. Hymanson first met Jackie Seiden as a child, enrolling in her classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Don Seiden also taught at the Art Institute and founded its art therapy program.
