Heléna Antonio is an international award-winning actress and filmmaker, born in Como (Italy).

One of her latest Feature Films, 'Sunburn', is now on Amazon Prime and other platforms, together with 'Heckle', in which Heléna plays Laura, alongside Steve Guttenberg. She has been directed for International campaigns by film directors as Tony Kaye, Julio Medem and Maria Ripoll and she has also performed 'La Bohème' at the Royal Opera House of London, directed by Richard Jones.

She acts in English, Italian and Spanish and she is skilled in accents.
