Isabel Davis

Isabel leads Screen Scotland, the screen agency for the growth of the Scottish sector which sits within Creative Scotland. Screen Scotland is leading the growth of the Scottish sector through investing in development and production, enhancing skills and production infrastructure, advocating for screen education, and supporting Scottish talent to increase the quality and diversity of film and television production across scripted and unscripted genres.

From 2011–2018, Isabel was the BFI’s Head of International. In a role combining editorial, production and policy expertise, Isabel delivered the BFI’s international strategy. Isabel negotiated film co-production treaties with China and Brazil, and led on the building of industry relationships with these countries as well as with India, Morocco, Jamaica, and several key European territories.

Since Isabel joined Screen Scotland in late 2018, the establishment of new studio infrastructure in Scotland has seen a significant shift in Scotland’s international production environment, with large scale international film and TV projects being wholly produced in Scotland for the first time.
