3 year BA in Film and Television undertaking studies in editing, screenwriting, directing, and producing for a broad range of production styles. Teaching and workshops delivered by world-class tutors and guest speakers to give guidance towards project outcomes. Work produced so far includes short-form drama, live TV shoots, documentaries, and episodic scripts.

During his time at secondary school, Lewis' focus was split between the creative sides of Dance and Drama while also highly achieving academically. This has led to a rounded approach within Lewis' work as well as a deep appreciation for performance.

Lewis' experience as a performer allows him to better understand how dance and acting look best on-screen as well as how to work collaboratively with creatives. While performing at school, he had amazing experiences such as: performing for HRH Prince Charles, being a Stonewall and NYT ambassador, and working with Sir Matthew Bourne on the 2019 revival of Swan Lake.
