Major Achievements: Lewis joined the Northern Film School in 2000. He led the development of the BA programme within the school alongside the established MA programme and teaches Experimental Film and Critical Practice within the BA and MA programmes.

His recent Doctoral research was completed in 2014 when he was awarded a Professional Doctorate in Fine Art from the University of East London. Lewis produces films, photographic work and sculptural objects that consider a broad historical relationship between class (working men), family and forms of representation. His work has been exhibited in the UK and internationally.

Lewis is interested in the ways we gather, reflect on, develop and tell stories, create narrative intersections and illusions and treasure material objects and their images as contributors to social and subjective memory. He has an active interest in the history of male clothing, costume as narrative, sartorial codes, conventions and social groupings. His skills encompass directing, editing and compositing, camera, sound recording, tailoring and sewing.

Lewis is also a qualified aeronautical engineer. Selected examples of his exhibitions, commissions and symposiums include:
