Filmmaking for Lewis Andrews has always emblazoned a dreamlike path to storytelling. From making horror movies with his friends to working alongside his childhood idols.
Lewis has worked on Hollywood blockbusters’ Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, James Bond ‘No Time To Die’, Fast & Furious 9, Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion, Gran Turismo (Sony Pictures), and Cinderella. He has worked on shows for Netflix, BBC, Amazon, HBO and CBS.
Lewis produces, directs, shoots and edits commercials for brands such as Nike, Puma, and Vogue. He has also directed music videos for Sony Music and independent artists.
Lewis’s journey in film started as a child in his living room, making a short 3-minute movie starring his father. In the movie, his father is watching an old 1902 French film A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès from a Super 8 projector when a demon creeps into frame behind him (Lewis’s mother with a tablecloth over her head).
Playful experimentation using everyday materials to create film props has made Lewis naturally resourceful with shoestring budgets on set. As a kid, Lewis naturally enjoyed building things with his hands such as model spaceships from cardboard. Now, his love for creating every artistic detail makes him resourceful when planning film projects for clients. Building a rigged Jenga blocks gag, a homemade spider web spinner, an oversized newspaper prop with subliminal messages, a military helmet from a hanging basket, a stick of dynamite from chalk sticks. Creating, shooting, editing, and putting together every single aspect of his films has given Lewis the breadth of perspective whilst working on big Hollywood film sets.
Lewis is now working in his dream place where 14-hour shifts in movie studios and international locations are fused with surrounding himself with every detailed aspect of the movie-making process.
“The most epic moment I’ve had so far is Tom Cruise saluting me from a helicopter, parachuting out of it onto a mountain in Norway, and landing a foot away from me. I love everything about the filmmaking process, and I am just at the beginning.”
