Shannon Baker Davis is an award-winning television and film editor. For the first 10 years of her career, she worked on unscripted and reality projects, including Emmy-winning shows like Top Chef and Project Runway. Later, she parlayed her skills into the scripted world, working on acclaimed television shows and films like The Photograph, Impeachment: American Crime Story, Insecure, Grown-ish, The Obituary of Tunde Johnson, and Ava DuVernay’s Queen Sugar. Most recently, she joined the editorial team on From Scratch to bring the series to completion. It was a joy to work with Shannon, and after working together I can say with confidence that she is not just a talented editor, but a thoughtful storyteller, a remarkable collaborator, and a bright spirit. In our conversation, we discuss what it means to navigate Imposter Syndrome, how motherhood informs our professional lives, and the ‘invisible work’ of editing.
