Zoe McIntosh first won attention for a documentary on mail order brides, made while she studied film at Canterbury University. In 2010 LOST IN WONDERLAND, her hour-long doco about idiosyncratic barrister Rob Moodie, won the Qantas award for Best Popular Documentary and the following year she was awarded the SPADA new film maker award.
Currently directing commercials, McIntosh has been given notice of her talent for drama, with the award-winning 2010 short DAY TRIP and in 2013 she won the Cannes Lions young directors award. In 2013 she completed a feature film called THE DEADLY PONIES GANG as well as a documentary called KING OF CARAVANS. Both premiered at the New Zealand international film festival.
