Based on an original story and screenplay by Demetrios Katis, the film is not a historical reconstruction of Ancient Greece. Instead, it unfolds within a fictional Hellenistic world inspired by the late Hellenistic period, at the dawn of the Roman era, where philosophy, mystery, destiny, romance and science fiction merge into a completely original cinematic experience. The official HELICON trailer surpassed 29,000 YouTube views within its first eighteen days, becoming the highest-performing recent release on Katis’ official YouTube channel while generating hundreds of audience reactions, comments and shares from viewers around the world. Born in Athens, Demetrios Katis later lived and worked extensively in Los Angeles and New York, building an international career spanning music, filmmaking and journalism. His previous feature film, Broken Circle, received more than fifty international awards before becoming available on streaming platforms including Amazon Prime Video UK and Plex.
