 About Raquel 

 What ultimately attracts me to editing is my ability to help people bring their stories to life.

Raquel Davis is a Freelance Video and Film Editor based in Philadelphia. Her earliest memory of editing is being enamored by movie trailers. She didn’t know it was an actual job at the time, but she knew that she wanted to be the person who created movie trailers. A dream that she manifested early in life or a path that she was always meant to follow; She’s not sure which, but that passing thought as a child lead her to experimenting in iMovie, Filmora, and After Effects as a kid and teenager before eventually receiving her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Film (her concentration being in Post Production, of course) from Temple University.


 
Throughout her time honing her skills on student projects, she realized that what ultimately attracts her to editing is the ability to help people’s visions come to life. It's one thing to write a script and have actors act it out, but it's another thing to see it in a fully cohesive manner through the power of editing. From trying different sequences of shots to finding the right song or score for a particular scene to assuring the Director that the project will make it to the end of Post, Raquel finds joy and thankfulness in every aspect of the Post Production process. Although she enjoys editing projects across a variety of different mediums, she is especially happy when a project involves music, rhythm, montaging, and a little experimentation. 
Fun Fact: Her Letterboxd Top 4 are The Handmaiden (2016), Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010), Forrest Gump (1994), and Sinners (2025)
