About Jonathan

Jonathan Aubrie Lewis is an award winning (2019 AT&T Film Awards
Underrepresented Winner) filmmaker who has been a professional director for the past
eight years.

His most recent film, “Sojourn,” (Vimeo Staff Pick) is an intimate exploration of Black male
identity. It has screened at Atlanta Film Festival, Austin Film Festival, Raindance Film Festival,
Holly Shorts and most notably, The National Museum of African American
History & Culture, a part of the Smithsonian African American Film Festival.

At Jonathan's core, he is rooted in the stripped-down raw fundamentals of
storytelling; always stimulating the mind of the viewer- challenging them to step
beyond their boundaries into his visual escapade. Because of this personal mandate, he
has developed a reputation of creating bold visuals, interlaced with thought provoking
story.

Jonathan is currently developing a socially charged dance experimental film entitled, "We are
THE BEAT." (Ask for pitch deck/script)
