About me

Hello! My name is Janasia Lewis. I was born and raised in Jamaica, Queens, NY. My passion for storytelling began at a very young age, when I would create sequels to children’s books, sparking my imagination and love for creative expression. Over the years, this passion has continued to shape who I am and inspire my journey. I am deeply committed to sharing stories that connect, inspire, and resonate with others, and I’m excited to keep exploring where this creativity will take me.

I started my filmmaking journey young. One summer night, I could not sleep, so I took my little iPhone 4s and scrolled through apps. After finding iMovie, I decided to teach myself movie trailer creation. I would come up with the most random film ideas and make trailers using family members as actors and directing them to make my stories come to life. As I grew more confident in my skills, I began experimenting with different aspects of storytelling—lighting, sound, and editing techniques. I realized that filmmaking was not just about pointing a camera and recording but about evoking emotions and connecting with an audience. This newfound understanding inspired me to push my boundaries, seeking out new tools and resources to refine my craft, and eventually turning that childhood hobby into a lifelong passion.

During my time at Georgia Gwinnett College, I didn’t limit my learning to just one institution. For three out of those four years, I also enrolled in courses at the Georgia Film Academy. There, I gained in-depth knowledge of the filmmaking process, mastering the intricacies of both pre-production and post-production at an industry level. By the time I graduated, I had not only earned my degree but also gained valuable hands-on experience, a comprehensive understanding of the filmmaking process, a Production Certification, and an OSHA Certification.
