Helena Antonio

Heléna was born in Como (Italy), however she grew up between Italy and Spain and studied acting with John Strasberg and Macarena Pombo. She moved to London in 2015, studied the Meisner Technique and landed her first role in the UK playing Rosa in the LGBT Comedy 'Arrivederci Rosa', for which she has been nominated twice (UK and US) Best Actress. She played the lead role of the mysterious Lucia in 'Sunburn', released at the beginning of 2020 in USA and Canada and now on Amazon Prime and other platforms. Her Film 'Judith', where she plays the dark role of Judith, has been premiered at the 75th Venice Film Festival. We recently saw Heléna in another Feature Film, 'Heckle', also starring Steve Guttenberg, where she portrays Laura, a gritty and intense woman. The film had its world premiere at the FrightFest of London in 2020. She has been directed for huge campaigns by film directors like Tony Kaye, Julio Medem and Maria Ripoll and has also performed 'La Bohème' at the prestigious Royal Opera House of London, directed by Richard Jones. Heléna often plays dark and unpredictable roles, however she also naturally brings to life warm and empathetic characters. She loves exploring human nature in all its forms and always commits herself completely in the journey, being hard working, creative and very focused on set. She acts in English, Italian and Spanish. Heléna is currently based in London, writing and developing different projects to be produced later this year.
