Soul Biographies with Nic Askew

Peeking into people's souls is what Nic Askew does rather well.   His movie camera is his tool and he captures a little - in fact rather a lot, of his subject's soul on black and white film.  He does it lovingly and without intrusion, and yet it does feel as though some layers have somehow been lifted. Soul Biographies is an apt name for these short vignettes into a space that is rarely seen.  

Nic creates these films for individuals, for companies, for organisations and all sorts really.  To say Nic is a film-maker does not do him, or his films justice. 

The time we spent in conversation with Nic was simultaneously strange and delightful.  You will see a montage of his work here and also how he turned his 'imaginary' camera on Beryl as we all struggled to find words to understand his journey into the soul of his subject.

Utterly beautiful.
