Personal Details

Biography

Writer producer Warren Lewis was born and raised in the vibrant city of New York, specifically in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, where he describes his childhood as "living in a stationary, edgy carnival". This unique environment taught him to be fast-paced, humorous, and full of heart, surrounded by a diverse range of people, which he believes is "ground level show business".

As a writer, Lewis brings this edge and heart to his work, crafting contemporary and period pieces that transport audiences to urban, rural, and even fantastical environments. With his dual citizenship of the United States of America and Canada, he has a global perspective that influences his storytelling.

Lewis's impressive credits as a screenwriter include the films Black Rain (Paramount) and The Thirteenth Warrior (Touchstone). He has worked on assignments for most of the major film and television studios, including Sony, Warner Brothers, and Fox. His recent scripts showcase his versatility, with projects such as A World Away, a modern retelling of The Dybbuk, which won the jury prize at the Wallachia International Film Festival in 2020.

In addition to his screenwriting work, Lewis has explored his roots in The Brownsville Boys: A Tale of Murder Incorporated, a 10-episode series currently in development. His other projects include Trade Craft, an espionage thriller set among young people who have a profound impact on the world; The Tale of the Bloodstone Riders, a western set in post-civil war Texas; See Me, an erotic thriller set in a fictional world; and The Point, a one-hour drama and military series set at The United States Military Academy.

As a professor of screenwriting at California State University, Lewis shares his expertise with undergraduate and graduate students, teaching classes on story structure, genre, adaptation for screenwriters, and screenplay adaptation.
