Director Biography – Nicholas Aska
Nicholas Aska is a BIPOC film maker who is originally from India. Today he lives in Toronto, Canada (Hollywood North). Growing up he belonged to a middle-class family and hailed from a less developed part of India.
His passion for film started even as a child, he would love watching films and was an avid film goer till he left India. He did not learn of his passion for film making till he was in his early thirties. He first wanted to be a novelist in his free time and wrote Bro Binny as a novel, but then his passion for film making was realized through some plays he watched at EMBASSY Church that threw out huge productions. He then went to a Prestigious Organization in Toronto and took some courses on film making and Direction.
In the course he shared his dream to be a film maker with the trainer of one of the courses and said confidently that he could get funding for Bro Binny just based on his passion for film making. But the trainer humiliated him saying that without a film to see no investor would fund any of his ideas. This humiliation stuck with Nicholas Aska and taking it to heart he decided to follow filmmaking.
Director Statement
Cric-Nick 2.0 is a labor of love of over 40 cast and crew members. Through this film I intend to inspire all the middle-aged folk, he, she or they, that it’s not too late to follow your passion in sports… Mental health affects a lot of us, but that does not need to stop us from following our passions and dreams. One needs to forgive the demons of the past and strive towards the future. That is the essence of Cric-Nick 2.0. Enjoy.
