ERIC
Eric W. Whitelaw is an Edinburgh- based filmmaker, performer and co-founder of Helios Media. Eric started his career in the arts as a performer, studying at the Performing Arts Studio Of Scotland in Edinburgh. He eventually got involved in film work, shifting his expertise to behind the camera. It is because of this he is not only passionate for the work behind the lense, but the image shown in front as well.
At first Eric started filming promotional videos for theatre, as he has many contacts in the performing industry in Scotland due to his training and performing. He eventually started writing and directing short films. Past credits include “Piano Man” (2023), “Kroler” (2024), “Lost Love” (2024).
Eric’s main focus when filming is telling the story and conveying the emotion of what he is seeing. Like this, we don’t only keep the visual memories, but also remember what we felt throughout. Passionate about making a theatre project, proud of showcasing a business, celebrating a wedding, etc. Where there is people, there is a story.
