He followed it up in 2011 with ''Film/TakeShelter'', which starred Creator/MichaelShannon and Creator/JessicaChastain in a story about a man who becomes tortured by apocalyptic visions and dreams, and despite fears that they may be a sign of schizophrenia, allows them to consume him until he risks his family's financial security on a high-tech tornado shelter. The film again played to acclaim at the Sundance as well as Cannes film festivals, where the performances from Shannon and Chastain were singled out, as was the mood and atmosphere in Nichols' direction. Nichols has since become an icon of American indie film, although he has also made one studio film (''Film/MidnightSpecial'') and hasn't ruled out working with major studios in the future.

After studying filmmaking at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, he made his debut feature, ''Film/ShotgunStories'', which debuted to terrific reviews at the Sundance Film Festival but was unable to secure a good theatrical release. It did, however, garner universal acclaim from critics for Nichols' direction and the lead performance by Creator/MichaelShannon. Most notable among the film's supporters was Creator/RogerEbert, who named it one of the best films of 2008 and chose it as a featured selection for his film festival, Ebertfest, giving the film (and Nichols) a much-needed ColbertBump.
