Zoe Davis BFE

Zoe's long-form editing work extends to a variety of genres, including observational, wildlife, arts, science and technology, crime & justice, factual, and archive. As an editor, she seeks out projects that challenge audiences to think about the world in new and different ways. She is known for her unwavering commitment and motivation to each project, bringing vast experience and expertise to every film she cuts. 

With a background in commercials and music, she now specialises in documentaries and docudrama. Working with legends like Darren Aronofsky and Walter Murch has also given her a keen interest in scripted work. Music is another passion of Zoe's, and as a violinist, she particularly enjoys working with sound and music to create an evocative and emotional experience for viewers.

Career highlights include working with renowned filmmaker Darren Aronofsky on the 6-part series ‘Limitless with Chris Hemsworth’ (Disney+), which won the ASE Ellie Award for editing in 2023 and the Realscreen Award for Best Non-Fiction Science & Technology series in 2024. She also worked alongside legendary editor Walter Murch on the multi-award-winning feature docudrama ‘COUP 53’, as well as ‘Extraordinary Rituals’ and ‘The Parkinson’s Drug Trial’ for BBC Two. These films have won prestigious awards such as the Grierson and RTS Award for Best Science Documentary in 2019. In 2020, she edited the Netflix Original series ‘Alien Worlds’, which won an Emmy Award in 2021 and was one of the top ten streaming shows in its first week.

In addition to her editing work, Zoe strongly believes in the importance of mentoring new talent and supporting a thriving editing community. She has been a tutor for MA Editing students at the National Film and Television School (UK) and a panelist at IBC, EditFest, and Sheffield DocFest. She has also mentored students through Bath Spa University and Royal Television Society mentoring programs. In 2023, she joined the Australian Screen Editors committee and judged the Ellie Awards in Emerging and Students categories.

She works in Australia and United Kingdom (and remotely).
