Making films that speak to the soul are key. As filmmaker, I dive into complexities of human nature in relationship to fear, love and the ensuing choices related to conflict and strife.

Roxanna Lewis’s approach to filmmaking is intrinsically linked to having been raised in the multi-generational home built by the hands of her Arab and European immigrant elders. Unfiltered stories shared between human rights activists, work-to-the bone laborers, cutthroat millionaires, war heroes and fallen addicts fueled her curiosity and imagination. She inherited a deep respect for humanity, the art of survival, and power of story.
Roxanna entered film/TV through the side door as stage director, choreographer, dancer and actress. As Founder/CEO of Roxxiedanz Productions Inc, she continues to helm projects that entertain, defy stereotypes and amplify resilience. Her career has fortuitously led her to work with artists of all backgrounds and body types to include those who identify as paraplegic, wheelchair users, d/Deaf, blind, neurodiverse and neurotypical. She is the recipient of two grants from The Community Foundation (NEA partnership), Community First Cares, Westchester Community Council, and support from The Flutie Foundation for Rachel Barcellona for her film, MANDY’S VOICE.
Filmography: RUN WILD (16mm) starring Jophielle Love (Emmy-nominated 2024) and two-time Emmy-winner Sally Struthers), MANDY’S VOICE (International Autism Advocate Rachel Barcellona), THE CROSSING (Cote de Pablo NCIS), THE SHIFT (Spirit Award nominated David Girard), I DIDN’T KNOW and MY3rdBODY (post). Additional projects with Discovery Channel, Showtime, Mindless Entertainment, DNA Productions, The Revolver Film Company.
Roxanna is ecstatic to be a featured guest for We Believe 2025 where she will speak to over 8,000 students and educators in Canada about The Healing Powers of Creativity and The Courage to Follow Your Dreams!
