Helios Productions is an independent American production company headquartered in Los Angeles, California with offices in New York City.
History[edit]
Founded in 2008 by Alejandro Salomon and David Rusi, Helios Productions is an entertainment company which develops, finances and produces sophisticated and commercial projects in the $10,000,000 - $50,000,000 range.
The purpose of Helios Productions is to create high-quality, commercially viable films that are produced on time and on budget. Helios has been working hand in hand with selected distributors, foreign sales companies, and talent agencies to package films.
Since opening its doors in April of 2008 Helios Productions has completed four films. It is Helios Productions' intention to continue at the same pace using the same business model.
The company finances films through a combination of private equity, tax incentives, soft money deals, foreign sales and negative pick-ups, and it acquires projects only after developing an individual strategic plan, which focuses on financing, marketing and release elements prior to acquisition.
