About
Valkyr is a director-led studio based in Los Angeles, founded by filmmaker Jeremy Heslup.
Built around a belief that craft should serve story, Valkyr brings together cinematic direction, production, and post under a unified creative vision. The studio operates at the intersection of branded filmmaking and original narrative development, supporting projects where tone, precision, and intention are central to the work.
Over the past decade, Valkyr has collaborated with leading agencies and global brands, including McLaren, Ineos, Lamborghini, Land Rover, Lexus, Maserati, TAG Heuer, Rolls-Royce, and Czinger — producing films across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Working alongside Executive Producer Bonnie Gallanter, the studio provides integrated production and finishing capabilities designed to support ambitious director-driven storytelling at scale.
Recent projects include the global launch of the Zenvo Aurora, the US debut of the Ineos Grenadier, and The Gunslinger for Rolls-Royce — a branded narrative reimagining the Black Badge Cullinan within a cinematic western world.
Valkyr continues to expand its focus towards director-driven narrative projects and long-form storytelling.
