Zoe Davis is a long-form editor, writer and edit consultant whose work spans a wide range of genres, including observational, wildlife, arts, science and technology, crime & justice, factual, sports and archive. She's drawn to projects that challenge audiences to see the world in new and unexpected ways. Every film Zoe edits is a commitment - she brings experience, expertise, and deep motivation to each project.

​

Zoe began her career in commercials and music before moving into documentaries and docudrama. Collaborations with industry legends such as Darren Aronofsky and Walter Murch have sparked a growing interest in scripted work. As a violinist, Zoe has a deep passion for music and loves using sound and score to create evocative, emotional experiences for viewers.

​

Career highlights include editing Limitless with Chris Hemsworth (Disney+), a six-part series by Darren Aronofsky, which won the ASE Ellie Award for Best Editing in 2023 and the Realscreen Award for Best Non-Fiction Science & Technology Series in 2024. Zoe 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 - both winners of prestigious awards, including the Grierson Award and RTS Award for Best Science Documentary. In 2020, she edited Alien Worlds, a Netflix Original series that won an Emmy Award in 2021 and ranked in the platform’s top ten most-streamed shows in its debut week.

Beyond the edit suite, Zoe is committed to supporting a thriving industry, both in the UK and in Australia. She has tutored MA Editing students at the National Film and Television School (UK), appeared as a panelist at IBC, EditFest, and Sheffield Doc/Fest, and has mentored students through Bath Spa University and the Royal Television Society mentoring schemes.
