Our team & trainers:

Founder

Helen’s background in feature film production and skills development means she knows exactly where people can feel stuck—and what is needed to help. By working closely with studios, streamers, and freelancers, she focuses on creating training and opportunities that work for individuals and for industry and make a real difference.

She’s used her own experience to build a community where people can ask questions, share knowledge, and feel supported along the way.

It’s a tough industry, and nothing’s guaranteed—but Talking Point is about making things feel a bit more manageable. With the right information and support, freelancers can feel more confident navigating their next steps and enjoy their work!

Together, we can grow and strengthen the workforce and hopefully leave the industry in a better place than we found it.
