SOUL BIOGRAPHIES
This is a living archive of unguarded human truth – where presence is seen, and life is recognized beyond words. Soul Biographies invites you into a profound encounter – with others, and ultimately, with yourself
CHANGE HOW YOU SEE ALL PEOPLE
Two decades ago I set out to capture the Soul of the Human Race on film, so that we might see ourselves reflected in each other. So that we might come to remember that we belong to each other, and act accordingly.
So that we might wake up.

SOUL BIOGRAPHIES IS THE UNFOLDING FILM SERIES. INNER VIEW IS THE WAY OF SEEING. IT IS HOW EACH SUBJECT HAS BEEN WITNESSED. START WITH NO-THING AND LET IT IS THE DISTILLED INSIGHT THAT HAS EMERGED OVER TWO DECADES
SHORT INTRO SEQUENCE BUILT OF SOUL BIOGRAPHY FRAGMENTS. SWITCH OFF THE WORLD. PLAY FULL SCREEN. DO NOT ATTEMPT IF DISTRACTED
The 13th Century Mystic Poet Rumi wrote;
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.”
Soul Biographies sets out to be an experience of this.
START WITH NO-THING
AND LET IT
For more than two decades I’ve been exploring the profound edges of human authenticity and insight. And of how we’re caused to act. Thousands of film subjects. Pioneering the use of consciousness and cinematography. What I uncovered wasn’t just a new perspective, but a whole new starting point. A fundamental insight into how we might see, act and relate differently. One powerful enough to change everything.
And its starts with NO-THING.
My mission is to share this far and wide. As a demonstrable EXPERIENCE in amongst people, and as an experience on FILM that will last for generations.
