Nicole 'Soul' Creary

I am "Soul" a native New Yorker from the Bronx. My first love and dream for a career, was being a triple threat (singer, dancer and actress) after watching the TV show Fame. However, as time went on I had a strong desire to help people. So, when college came around, I majored in Psychology then received my Masters in Social Work. I spent years of my life working in schools supporting youth. But...deep down inside, my desire to express my creativity burned. I took private acting classes and felt my creative desire grow. My drama teacher, Nathan George became my life coach, mentor and second father, he was a powerful influence in my life. He helped me to understand the power of film, directing and acting can have in millions of people's lives. Nathan passed away and his death devastated my life, it made me think and ask myself, "if I died today, would I feel like my life is fulfilled", have I truly lived my purpose?" The honest answer was NO! I am now living my creative dream through making movies, as a Director, Screenwriter, Producer and Actress. I also Sing and write Poetry. After witnessing so many youth's struggles, I am using film as a catalyst for change to support and be a voice for disenfranchised youth/people. Now I can say, YES, I am living my purpose!
