His short film, Elke's Visit, was an official selection of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Prior to that, he worked in commercial production in Spain with the likes of Isabel Coixet, Julio Medem, Bruno Delbonnell and Seamus McGarvey.
Morgan's band Easy, with DJ Lippo, produced several critically acclaimed records for Cosmos Records. Their videos, directed and produced by Dews, aired on Spain's TV3. Easy performed live throughout Spain and at Sónar, Barcelona International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Arts. During this period Dews also worked in fine art; engravings with master engraver Tristan Barbarà, interactive lo-tec installations, and video installation.
