Dear Sir/Madam:

I have known Peter Ferris since 2011 and he was introduced to me by Norman Houston who is the Director of the Northern Ireland Bureau in Washington DC. Peter Ferris has made trips to Los Angeles and has attended events at the British governments official residence, including an event that was organised to promote the Northern Irish Film Industry.

I am originally from Northern Ireland and was intrigued by what Peter was doing to promote the film industry in Northern Ireland and especially his work with students in this important sector.

I started to work closely with Peter and facilitate some introductions with key decision makers of television and film production companies in Hollywood. I arranged for Peter to meet with companies like the Oprah Winfrey Network and Sony Entertainment.

I know that the information that Peter was able to gather at these meetings and others helped shape the concept for Ferris Entertainments Los Angeles Masterclasses. I will continue to support Peter with this important project in the US and in particular the West Coast by making further introductions that might encourage and inspire the Northern Irish students visiting Los Angeles for these masterclasses.

Sincerely,

Andrew Lewis
