Christian Heilman

I am a senior video editor, post-production producer & project manager with a passion for streamlining creative workflows and elevating content through thoughtful execution. I specialize in bridging creative ambition with operational strategy, ensuring projects move smoothly from concept to delivery without compromising quality.

My career was built in editorial and has evolved to encompass client-facing leadership, post-production producing, and workflow design for both in-house teams and global campaigns. I excel at overseeing scheduling, resourcing, and budgeting, while fostering strong collaboration between creative, production, and client teams. I thrive on finding innovative solutions that keep the creative process agile and effective, from cloud-based post pipelines to scalable remote collaboration across time zones, while integrating AI-powered tools such as Runway ML and Google Veo to accelerate and elevate visual content creation.

Career Highlights

At The Inception Company, I serve as the client-facing lead for all projects that pass through our Post-Production department. I manage scheduling, resourcing, and budgets to ensure seamless execution, while guiding clients through the creative process to bring their vision to life.

During my time at R/GA, I not only edited digital campaigns for brands like Samsung, ESPN, and Verizon, but also spearheaded the development of remote workflows at the onset of the pandemic. By implementing LucidLink as a secure, cloud-based editing environment, I enabled seamless collaboration between our US, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo teams, ensuring uninterrupted delivery on high-profile campaigns.

Earlier in my career, I honed my craft as a video editor, building a foundation of technical expertise and creative storytelling that continues to inform my approach to leading post-production today.
