About Nicholas

Nick Aska is a 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 in 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 make the short film Bro Binny.

Believe it or not this is his first film and it has won the Exceptional Achievement award at the Multi Dimension International Film Festival. And has been selected by Cannes World Film Festival, Swedish International Film Festival and Chicago Cinema Awards.

Unique traits: I makes and write movies that have a soul and touch the heart on an emotional level. They leave a lasting impression in the viewers hearts.

Film (short) by The Light Of My Heart Entertainment Corp (Comedy, Drama, Family and Short) Director, Producer, Screenwriter Life can be tough but if you persevere, it can be the greatest of Blessings, a blessing worth sharing with everyone around you. That is Binny’s philosophy and is the very essence of 'Bro Binny' that features Binny Cameroon and his innocent child like love for others. Life throws one life-changing circumstance after another at him & where many would give up and call it quits, he chooses to follow Good over Evil and continues to preserve. With this attitude, and his child like nature, he causes Triumph of The Greater Good over the questionable and some would call evil ideas of Dean Michael, taking him on single-handedly.
