About.

Craig Helfer with his dog

I’m an editor, videographer, and director based in New York and New Jersey.

At Omnicom Production / TBWA\Chiat\Day NY, I shot and edited more than 500 branded videos with over 120 million combined views. My work spans campaigns for Hilton, Nissan, Foot Locker, Goldman Sachs, and TD Bank.

I work from the shoot through the final cut, including editing, color, sound, and versions for different platforms. I also write, direct, and produce short films, including more than 20 with Iron Horse Cinema.
