Zoe Ward is a writer/director based in Los Angeles. She currently writes on an upcoming show for Apple+. She received her MFA in filmmaking at UCLA and has worked with such accomplished showrunners as Terence Winter, Robin Veith, and David Matthews on projects at Paramount+, Hulu, and Amazon. Her short films have screened at Austin Film Festival and Outfest, and she has been recognized for her published short fiction.
Zoe’s thirst for adventure has taken her from Michigan to New York to Cuba to New Zealand and beyond. She dropped out of high school, sang in a Seattle punk band, ran a farm in Connecticut, and worked lots of quintessential New York jobs, including dog walker, Fashion Week assistant, and bookstore clerk. In her writing, Zoe is drawn to innovative world building, absurdist humor, and complex characters across many genres and formats. She is especially drawn to telling stories about outlaw women trying to make a space for themselves in a man’s world. She worships at the altar of the Coen brothers.
Zoe has two beautiful children, two old dogs, and one incredible spouse.
