Asher Lines has directed a number of short comedies and dramas, often combining the genres into dramedies. His influences come from modern cinema directors such as Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson while other influences include Martin Scorcese and Tim Howard.

Asher places a major emphasis on the rhythm of a film as he believes this can bring out humour and emotion. The master of this, Edgar Wright, can be frequently seen inspiring Asher's work.

Trumping this is his focus on shaping acting. He likes to be prepared yet flexible with this, using a variety of techniques to develop acting based on the performer's personal style.

Through his previous experience in sound recording, Asher has learnt to appreciate the impact of sound in films. His films often use sound as a metaphorical or juxtapositional device to further the story's meaning.

Asher was accepted at Birmingham City University as part of the Film Production BSc course in 2015. After graduating, he broke onto the festival circuit with previous shorts such as 'Colourblind' and 'Puppy Love'. His more recent shorts have included 'Tempo', a short musical piece, and 'Julie Be My Wife', a documentary about the enigmatic Julie Stoddern.
