Indigo Bates

Indigo Bates

Indigo Bates is a British-American writer-director based between London and New York whose films are marked by a deep sensitivity to rhythm, language and the small, telling detail - the flicker of an expression, a moment of unspoken longing, humour found where you least expect it. Born and raised in London, she trained as a musician and linguist before earning an MA in French and Spanish from the University of Edinburgh. A decade spent living across Paris, Buenos Aires, Edinburgh, Seville and New York gave her a cross-cultural sensibility and an instinct for emotional truth that runs through everything she makes. A globally recognised commercial director with campaigns for Moët & Chandon, Ritz Carlton, Western Union, Snapchat and the Mandarin Oriental, she brings the same precision and intimacy to advertising that she pursues in her narrative work. Bates is currently developing Carpe Fucking Diem, her debut feature, and this winter shoots a short film as proof of concept. She is also writing a series under executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, creators of The O.C. and Gossip Girl.
