HELIO is a short, visceral film centered on a post-apocalyptic underground society where miners work for light to survive. But when a dying rebel thrusts the unexpected onto an unassuming worker’s lap, all hell breaks loose. What begins as one man’s race to escape the hostile government quickly escalates into a city-wide uprising of the people.

HELIO represents his first sincere foray into writing, directing and producing his own material. HELIO was produced by Shadow Council Productions, a start-up production company, which Teddy co-founded and manages alongside two other filmmakers.
