Born and raised in Vancouver BC, David James Lewis knew from an early age that he wanted to be an actor.
At the beginning of his career David cut his teeth on commercials, independents and numerous short films. One of them being 1999’s “Shoes Off” which won the Best Short Film International Critics Week at the Cannes Film Festival. David continues to enjoy and contribute to the
independent film scene and in fact finds it some of his most rewarding work to date.

Zahf is very enthusiastic with his work, which really helps the students be motivated when trying new things. His text analysis is so inspiring because he is amazing at it! The physical aspects of acting and having motive behind each movement is something I really connected with in his class.
