electriclime° has brought on Indigo Bates to its director roster for representation throughout ANZ, APAC and MENA.
A British/American director, Indigo was born and raised in London, but has spent the last ten years across multiple cities, including Paris, Buenos Aires and New York.
A globally-recognised commercial filmmaker, she has worked on major campaigns for brands such as Western Union, Moët & Chandon, NordicTrack, Adidas and many more.
Balancing her time between commercial and narrative work, her short films have screened at international festivals in NY, LA, Mexico, London and Edinburgh.
Says Bates: “I’ve admired electriclime°’s work for a while – it all feels super cohesive to me; exuding a true love of the craft. I’m excited to start working together in new markets alongside such an A-team of filmmakers.”
Being a musician and a linguist, fluent in French and Spanish, her love of communication and music deeply informs her filmmaking approach, while she constantly searches for inspiration from everything around her.
Says Bates: “I love the little things – the human moments caught on film that feel truly relatable. I don’t believe in spelling things out for people; if I’m trying to tap into some universal truth then it’s going to come across in the minutiae. Drama and humour live and die in the details.
“Movement excites me, flickers of expressions that convey so much with so little, cheeky humour that makes a scene memorable – quotable even.
“Inspiration can come from anywhere. I feel most inspired when I’m travelling, seeing and feeling new things. The stories that get me the most are always love stories. Ideally when there’s some unrequited element, or past regret or impossibility to them.”
