Singapore – Broadcasting & media production company electriclime° has added British American filmmaker Indigo Bates to their director roster to represent ANZ, APAC, and MENA.
Bates previously worked on campaigns for Western Union, Union, Moët & Chandon, NordicTrack, and Adidas, among others.
“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,” Bates said.
Her interest in music and languages has influenced her filmmaking approach.
“I love the little things – the human moments caught on film that feel truly relatable,” Indigo added. “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,” Bates said.
Bates’ has balanced both commercial and narrative work, with her short films being screened in various international festivals.
