Helen Lõhmus

Helen Lõhmus is an Estonian producer and director with a strong track record in both domestic and international productions. She began her career in television in 2004 but soon after expanded her passion for storytelling into film. In 2012, she served as a production designer for Walt Disney Company’s youth series After School. Later, she produced and worked as a production designer for Dearest Sister (dir. Mattie Do), a Lao-Estonia-France co-production that was nominated for an Oscar in 2017. 

In 2024, after nearly a decade in the making, her directorial debut—Kelly: Someone Else’s Dream, a feature documentary exploring the dark sides of youth sports—premiered at Hot Docs. Her most recent production is the TV series Von Fock, an international co-production between Estonia, Latvia, and Italy, making it the highest-budgeted series in the Baltic region to date. It aired in early 2025 on the Estonian National Broadcaster, breaking audience records. 

Lõhmus is currently completing the European Film Business and Law MBA at the Erich Pommer Institute.
