ABOUT NIC ASKEW - CREATOR OF SOUL BIOGRAPHIES
Nic is many things. Film-maker, storyteller, musician, composer. A commentator on life. In his latest film series, Soul Biographies, he captures the experience of being human. And in doing so, offers the viewer the opportunity to be moved to tears and laughter. And to move into a deeper experience of themselves.
His other public projects include the Monday9am Short Film Series [2005-2007], the Thunk Audio Series [2008+] and the Short Word Series [2008+].
At 45, Nic is an Englishman living in Minneapolis, USA with one wife (see below) and four children under 6. If you count the dog, which he does. He works from his attic, finding peace amongst the chaos.
The [PRESSROOM] contains more about this most unusual journey to a unique style of film.
Nic works on other projects. Some with philanthropists. Some with investors. And some as COMMISSIONED FILMS. Details of these projects & partnership opportunities can be found at NICASKEW.COM. He also has a ONE MAN SHOW.

ABOUT EDWIN ESCOBAR - PRODUCER | CHIEF PATRON
I met Edwin at an MIT film screening. A few weeks later we became partners in a first project, which led to his unconditional patronage of Soul Biographies. Viewers have a great deal to thank Edwin for.
He is an entrepreneur in its truest sense. An extremely successful businessman driven by a strong heart and sense of contribution to the good of all. Now it seems that he is heading for leadership on the world stage. [NIC]

ABOUT CAROLINE ASKEW | ‘COLLABORATOR’
I met Caroline in the Bahamas, immediately recognising that we would be together. We married soon after. A story in itself. One waiting to be told.
She has been with me every step of the way with Soul Biographies. And is the only one to see any of the work before it makes its way into public view. She ensures that I see what is obscured by my own immersion. From a missed split infinitive to the elusive clarity on major issues of the human experience. [NIC]
