A Tony-nominated Broadway Producer turned Film Director, Rachel Annette Helson tells stories about women who are rule breakers and risk takers. She recently directed her fourth feature film: an adaptation of the Bestselling novel The Air He Breathes - and her latest short film Good Daughter qualified for the 2025 Academy Awards in the Best Live Action Short Film category. As a character-driven director, Rachel is heavily influenced by her acting background (credits include: Full Circle, The Knick and Law & Order: SVU.) An alumna of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, she also holds the distinction of being the Youngest Producer in Broadway history to be Nominated for a Tony Award. She is repped by Gordon MacDonald and Steve Roy at Buchwald.
