Mark Lewis (filmmaker)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Lewis is a documentary film and television producer, director and writer. He is famous for his film Cane Toads: An Unnatural History and for his body of work on animals. Unlike many other producers of nature films, his films do not attempt to document the animals in question or their behaviors but rather the complex relationships between people and society and the animals they interact with.

Lewis has won the Judge's Award at the New Orleans Film Festival and a Golden Gate Award and Certificate of Merit from the San Francisco International Film Festival. He has been nominated for awards from BAFTA, the Directors Guild of America, and the Sundance Film Festival.
