About Me

I’m Jelle Helwig, CSI, a colorist and editor based in the Netherlands. For the past 15+ years I’ve helped directors and production companies shape the look and feel of their stories, from the first cut to the final grade. Having a foot in both worlds, together with an extensive knowledge of post-production pipelines, means I understand how a film is built, not just how it looks, and that shapes every decision I make in the suite.

My grading work spans feature films, documentaries, television series and programmes, and I do most of my editing on fiction. Recent projects include Symphonic Cinema's LOSS, directed by Lucas van Woerkum and starring Emma Thompson and Greg Wise. Whatever the format, my goal is the same: to find a look that serves the story and feels natural to the people who made it.

I have my own studio in Zaandam and remote grading is always possible. All this means I collaborate with filmmakers and production companies around the world. Whether we’re in the same room or in different time zones, I make sure you’re involved at every step. If you have a project in mind, I’d love to hear about it.
