Joe Lewis has been a filmmaker his whole life. He hasn't always worn those googley-eyed glasses though. Those are a new addition to Joe. He went to Emerson College and studied acting, and has since produced a short film, a feature length film, and a bunch of other really awesome stuff. Joe has never had a dull day his whole life, and enjoys dancing with monkeys, wolves, chia pets and other things similarly trained in the art of ballet. His main objective in life is to make each day the best of his life, and each moment the most momentous. His middle name is Arceulius and his love of pizza keeps him up at night, but he would never admit that in public.
