I am in Madrid & London in August. Making films. One on the nature of dementia.

I could do a London Film Night on Monday 9th August, if anyone was up for organising it.

If you are up for it … EMAIL ME.

A BOOK TRAILER | 3m

I don’t make ads. Not really. But if I did this is what might happen. I made this for Gene. You might recognise him from the first Soul Portrait. And I was struck by a single line;

‘everybody was an honor, everybody was a privilege to be with’

And the reason I’m playing it here is because this is how Gene is. Truly is. Everybody is an honor and a privilege to be with. And in this action he proves that a life time of ’seeking’ can transform a person.

I wonder how it feels for you to be with others?

The film is a book trailer. The book of this quiet & extraordinary journey [DETAILS HERE].

‘as the light makes its way’

Nic Askew — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 18:26:02 +0000

William Murtha asked me if I’d write 100 words for this book. And now it seems they sit alongside words from Neale Donald Walsch, Jane Goodall, Alice Walker & 196 others.

Here they are. In voice and written word. 121 words actually.

Perhaps follow the written word alongside my voice & guitar.

‘as the light makes its way’

A man had lived in his imagination.

Ever since he was a boy.

For it was full of wonder and adventure when set against
the outer world that housed his everyday life.

His imagination surrounded him in light.
The outer world, in a darker shade.

But as he waited for this outer world to catch the light,
he realised that it might not.

And so he stepped out into the world,
hand in hand with his imagination.

Knowing that together they would bring
light to the darkest of corners.

—

And he is you. And me.

And together, the imagination of our collective soul
has already begun its inevitable work.

As the light makes its way towards
the experience of the world.

A brief camera test for a new idea. To capture tunes as I imagine them. No rehearsal. No take two.

I wander the house playing like this much of the day. Most is lost to the ether.

CONCERNING THE THOUGHTS THAT DEFINE YOUR LIFE

FILM | ‘IS IT TRUE’ | 3m | STARRING BYRON KATIE

THEMES: NON JUDGEMENT | UNCERTAINTY | PEACE | CURIOSITY | CONSCIOUSNESS

Most of us believe the thoughts we hold about ourselves to be true. Without question.

Even though they diminish our capacity for life.

Few ever wonder if ’such thoughts’ are true.

Can you absolutely know that what you’ve chosen to believe about yourself is true?

The possibility of making a film together may be more in reach than you at first imagined.

iPhone and iPad app

Nic Askew — Fri, 07 May 2010 14:50:59 +0000

This is simply a first mock up of what such an app might look like.

Importantly, both an iPhone, and an iPad app is under development.

I imagine it to be the best, most personal way to experience the characters that make up Soul Biographies. And what they might provoke.

I expect it to be ready and in the App Store (without charge) by the end of summer.
