Hi, I’m Helle…
I initially trained as a dancer and worked within performing arts for 10 years, before morphing into a film director. My love of movement and the human body has only grown over the years, and the stuff I make tends to veer in this direction.
Work seems to fall into 3 categories; directing experimental films of my own initiative, directing and consulting for television and teaching artistic practice across disciplines within higher arts education. Sometimes these three overlap, and that feels good.
I’m preoccupied with the sensoric, and with making visceral and embodied films. I make from a daily practice – aiming to strike a balance between pursuing my wildest dreams and getting shit done.
