Nic Askew
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Through the lens of his spellbinding Soul Biographies Human Portrait Series, Poet Film Maker Nic Askew explores the intangible space that exists between people, and wonders if implicit trust and non judgment is simpler and more profoundly important than we might assume. He wonders if the experience of unconditional belonging might be our deepest human need, and if so whether each of us has a part to play in life of another.
Nic is a former Managing Director who took a u-turn to become a filmmaker and a poet. He has spent the last decade exploring and capturing the human soul on film through his Soul Biographies series. He travels the world helping foundations and movements articulate their courageous pathfinding journeys; organizations find and express their soul; and most importantly, human beings express their pain, joy, and much in between.
