London born Lewiston started his career in the film industry in the
cutting rooms working on commercials and documentaries. He also worked
as a 2nd assistant director to legend, Karel Reisz on commercials and
on Love from A to Z, directed by Mel Stuart and starring Liza Minnelli.

Lewiston then moved into film production, co-producing "Shoreditch" (Joely Richardson and Shane Ritchie) and "Charlie", a film about the notorious sixties gangster Charlie Richardson (Luke Goss).
His first full producer credit was on Ernest Hemmingway's "The Garden of Eden", directed by his long time friend and associate John Irvin. Lewiston also co-wrote the screenplay.
Lewiston then wrote, produced and directed "The Hot Potato". Based on a true story set in the late sixties. The film was shot on location in Belgium and the UK in 2010 and stars Ray Winstone, Colm Meany, Jack Huston, David Harewood and John Lynch.
