Creative postproduction boutique Uppercut has brought Mila Davis aboard as executive producer. Davis joins the expanding team in Los Angeles, where the company opened an office last year.
Davis began her entertainment career at TBWAChiatDay, working her way up from an entry-level position to become a producer. She left Chiat to go work on Lexus at Team One Advertising. Shortly after, she was given the opportunity to return to Chiat to work on PlayStation and Apple. She worked there for many years as an executive producer on Pepsi, adidas, and other brands.
Davis was always interested in the postproduction process, which led her to become an executive producer/managing director at Stitch Editing. She’s collaborated with clients such as Amazon, EA, Activision, Facebook, Google, Cuervo, Honda, Hyundai, Nike, Microsoft, and Samsung. She also enjoys working on long-form documentary projects.
Having spent much of her childhood in Los Angeles, Davis is enthusiastic about the opportunity to further grow Uppercut’s new studio home in Culver City. In her role, she will guide and support Uppercut’s roster of editors, clients, and collaborators.
Of joining Uppercut, Davis says, “Uppercut and (its owner/editor) Micah Scarpelli are different from most of the post houses. I love that all the offices support one another as one company. I look forward to building the Los Angeles office and strengthening the Uppercut brand.”
Uppercut launched in New York City in 2015 and has continued to grow its boutique postproduction capabilities, building out a roster of diverse creative talent, expanding its offerings into VFX, and launching its partner music company, Racket Club.
