Award-winning production company Kode Media announces the addition of director Edie Amos for music and commercial representation.
Having worked with some of the world’s most prominent music artists, including Coldplay, Stormzy, Little Simz, and Bastille, Amos has become one of the go-to directors in live music capture. Additionally her commercial clients include Ted Baker, notwoways, Deezer and Linkedin.
A filmmaker driven by her empathy and a desire for connection, Edie has always wanted to make films that move and inspire people, and is particularly interested in interrogating subjects such as teenhood, mental health, relationships, and family. With selections for multiple film festivals including BAFTA-qualifying Carmarthen Bay Film Festival and BIFA-qualifying Barnes Film Festival, her no-budget short film Dear Fear follows the life of her younger brother. “In the Summer of 2020 I decided to make a film about my then 13-year-old brother. In the midst of the first lockdown, he was feeling down and I wanted to find a way to help. I gave him a task: each week he’d write down one fear always followed by two hopes. We took his photo once a week for a year and he filmed his life on an old tape camera.”
Inspired by theatre set design, a love that grew with her experience making large-scale live music films, Amos enjoys building and constructing reality in unusual and unexpected ways. Drawn to the captivating honesty and emotion in live music performance, the craft she’s developed in this space is now translating to a distinct style of narrative writing, constructing surreal and playful realities that lean into the ‘performance’ rather than trying to convince the audience they’re watching real life.
Edie Amos, director, comments on signing with Kode: “Being an independent director for the past few years has been crucial for my career, allowing me to find my distinct voice and style, but finding a home in KODE is the perfect next step for me. I'm so excited to be surrounded by their team's brilliant energy and dedication. It's such an exciting time to join their growing roster of incredible established and new talent. I'm honoured to be a part of the crew and can't wait to see where we go together.”
Nathan Killham, executive producer and founder at Kode, adds: “I’ve been a fan of Edie’s work for a long time. Her work to date speaks for itself, be that at the helm of huge live multi camera shoots or capturing honest and relatable stories single camera. She’s done a lot and is still at the beginning of her career as a Director. She’s young and hungry, full of ideas and vision. It’s for these reasons that we can’t wait to see her flourish, as she pursues bigger opportunities at Kode.”
