Chromista, a commercial production company with bases of operation in New York and L.A., has signed Amsterdam-based agent Bart Hendrikx to handle sales in select territories. Bart Hendrikx Consultancy will rep Chromista in the EMEA (excluding the U.K.) and the APAC regions, for the production of traditional TV and online advertisements, series (streaming media), and long-form projects. Chromista’s directorial roster includes Darren Aronofsky, Eddie Alcazar, Marcelo Burgos, Josh Cole, Morgan Cooper, Kasra Farahani, Sarah Daggar-Nickson, Elliott Lester, Xavier Mairesse, Eliza McNitt, Dael Oates, Alessandro Pacciani, and Daniel Portrait.
