The Newport Beach Film Festival would like to dedicate this year’s Collegiate Showcase to the late Professor Brian Lewis

The Newport Beach Film Festival would like to dedicate the 2022 Collegiate Film Showcase to the late Professor Brian S. Lewis. Professor Lewis was a filmmaker, educator, and philanthropist. His support of the Festival and our filmmakers was only surpassed by his love of his family and the community in which he lived. Professor Lewis’ film, Diary of a Surfing Film, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in the mid seventies. He was the founder of the Orange Coast College Fi i i n � n n i n n Fi F i and served many times as a juror at the Newport Beach Film Festival.
