04 / About

About.

Craig Helfer with his dog

Based in New York and New Jersey.

My introduction to filmmaking left me obsessed. I teamed up with the filmmakers at Iron Horse Cinema, where I wrote, directed, and edited 20+ short films and grew the YouTube channel to 300K+ subscribers and 46M+ views. Those films have played at festivals and fan conventions around the world.

I also spent seven years in advertising, shooting and editing hundreds of videos for brands like Goldman Sachs, Hilton, Nissan, and Foot Locker. Together they earned more than 120M views. It taught me how to tell a story fast, work with a team, and deliver on deadline, and I bring all of that to my work.
