"My vision with the Lewis Davis II - ENERGY documentary was solely to be able to communicate, entertain, than educate, in that order, to the largest possible target audience. I felt that a topic surrounding energy conservation techniques could not just be limited to heads of businesses, homeowners, teens, children, etc. I wanted to reach all of those categories and more. Within my 8-minute film, there is something that can be related to by humans of all ages.
