We work in a multilingual core team, and according to each project’s individual needs, we partner up with professionals and freelancers from throughout the region.
During the 20 years we have worked in the field, we created a wide net of reliable partners. Do you need a helicopter pilot, a camera assistant or a make-up artist? We know the best person for the job. Feel free to contact us, and let’s talk about your project.

Daria Akimenko

Daria is the fresh breeze of the company. She was born in 1987 in the USSR, grew up in Russia, lived in Finland for several years, and finally arrived in the beautiful town of Bolzano. She studied Interior and Landscape Design in Russia and later earned a Doctor of Arts degree at the University of Lapland in Finland. Her research and artistic interests lie in socially-engaged and narrative-based art, communities of place and practice, identity work, and migratory processes. Daria curated exhibitions and festivals, led European projects and worked for several years in the field of creative industries in Alto Adige. She has collaborated in different positions on a variety of film projects (mainly short films and documentaries).
Tomas Mall
Office & Accountant
Tomas is the heart and the good soul of the company and has been a member of the HELIOS family for many years. Before joining our forces, he had worked in a bank for many years, so he is pretty good with numbers. Today he manages both our companies’ bureaucratic and administrative matters and is doing all accountancy for our projects. Simply put, he is indispensable.
Nearly nobody knows HELIOS better than him. Perfectly bilingual, he loves film as much as we do, and during his free time, he creates film footage you can find on POND5.
