Martin & Lindsay join Spindle
November 27th, 2025
Huge welcome to Martin & Lindsay, who join Spindle for representation in the UK & Amsterdam. The duo that have created some of the most powerful documentaries of the last 20 years, artfully capturing mesmerising moments and elevating rare archival footage into new contexts.
The pair came out of the gates strong with their Oscar-winning documentary ‘Undefeated’, which follows the struggles of a high school football team as they attempt a winning season after years of losses. They followed this with ‘LA92’, an Emmy-winning film that takes a powerful look at the 1992 Los Angeles uprising using rarely-seen archival footage from the days following the Rodney King verdict. And their most recent feature film ‘Tina’ about the life and career of musician Tina Turner, earned them multiple Primetime Emmy nominations including Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction and Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special.
Alongside documentary work, Martin & Lindsay have helmed acclaimed commercials for Meta, Google, Facebook, Gatorade, and more. Most notably was their groundbreaking six-part campaign ‘The Truth is Worth It’ for The New York Times. Made with Droga5 NY, the series emphasised the importance of thorough and investigative reporting. The campaign earned two Grands Prix at the 2019 Cannes Lions, two Black Pencils at D&AD, the Black Cube at the 2019 Art Directors Club, Best of Film at The One Show, and Best in Show and Best of Advertising at the AICP. The duo was also honoured in AdWeek’s 2019 Creative 100 as one of 11 Commercial Directors Who Are Elevating the Craft of Storytelling.
