Meet the Director of Sharon Lewis!

focus in her directing career is to tell entertaining stories with a unique cinematic flavor and heavy-hitting performance. She has been nominated for 3 Canadian Screen Awards and recently won a CSA for Best Direction for a Factual Series. Sharon’s feature film debut, Brown Girl Begins, is an Afro-futurist sci-fi tale of a young black woman who saves her community through her connection to Caribbean spirits. The film has toured the world, garnering awards and recognition, including a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Lewis for Best Screenplay. Sharon’s first feature documentary, Disruptor Conductor, is about the first openly-gay, black Orchestral Conductor in Canada, Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, and it is being met with critical acclaim. Her latest feature documentary, about the LGBTQ+ community’s thriving after conversion therapy, With Wonder, won the Audience Choice Award at it’s Toronto Premiere. Although Sharon was born in Toronto, Canada and trained and lived in Los Angeles, she still has ties to her Jamaican/Trinidadian roots and works hard at giving voice to black people and people of color in all the projects she has the privilege of directing and producing.

Synopsis: Born out of Director Sharon Lewis' own muted struggle with not fitting into neat racial/Q***r/Christian boxes, With Wonder takes an intimate look at the journey of members of the Q***r, Christian community of colour and their attempts to answer the question: Can you be both Christian and Q***r? In this feature length documentary, we hear and see diverse members of the LGBTQ2S+ community, including high-profile q***r activists and Q***r clerics, in places like Jamaica, New York, London, and Los Angeles. They each have their own unique ways of amplifying their voices and finding their way back to spiritual health, despite the shaming tactics of some Christian institutions. With Wonder is a love letter to God from the LGBTQ2S+ community of colour.⁠
