"Incorporating singing as well as acting was a perfect fit and I'm an '80s baby so grew up listening to Madonna and Cyndi Lauper," Lewis said. "Also, Elena was somebody I thought resonated with me and I really wanted to tell her story. I have always enjoyed theatre and did a lot when I was younger so for this for be my first role was a great opportunity."
The film also stars Annabel Scholey, Hannah Arterton, Katy Brand and Giulio Berruti and is directed by the creators of the UK's version of Step Up, called Street Dance. Lewis' role found the 30-year-old smack in the middle of the bridal love triangle, as the best friend of the two sisters.
