For more than a decade, producer and director, Mark Lewis, has been renowned for developing the unusual genre of comical nature documentary, making films that focus on mans quirky and quizzical relationship with animals - and provoke us to rethink how we view creatures great and small. Besides examining the behaviour of beasts, Lewis frequently turns his lens inward to ultimately reveal surprising insights about one of the worlds strangest animals C human beings. Often illustrated through narrative vignettes by ordinary people with unusual fascinations or problems with a particular animal, Lewis imbues his films with a combination of hard fact, tongue-in-cheek irony, and his unique brand of gentle humour.
His films have earned him many awards, including a British Academy Award nomination, a nomination from the Directors Guild of America, two Emmys for Outstanding Direction in documentary film, and an Emmy for Outstanding Science Program on American Television.
