About Me

 

I’m Elena Toccafondi, an Editor and Producer based in New York City. My work has been featured on Netflix, Amazon, VICE, NBC, CNBC, Oxygen, Showtime, Rai Cinema, Al Jazeera, TRT World, and at festivals worldwide.

 

I specialize in crafting compelling stories - whether investigative true crime, social justice, or character-driven documentaries. I’ve worked on feature documentaries including Amanda Knox (Netflix), Miracle on 42nd Street (New York Emmy Award Winner), and I Am The Revolution (RAI Cinema).

 

My work spans docuseries such as First Team: Juventus (Netflix), Deadly Cults (Oxygen), NBC Dateline, Counter Space (VICE), and short-form documentaries. At CNBC, I created short docs on technology and economics, with some videos reaching millions of views.

 

Additionally, I edit commercials, branded content, and social media videos for brands like Vogue, iHeartRadio, SCAD and various nonprofit organizations. I oversee projects from start to finish, managing motion graphics, sound design, and color grading to ensure a cohesive and polished final product.

 

Originally from Italy, I hold an MA in Filmmaking from Goldsmiths, University of London, where I specialized in Sound Design and won the Best Short Script Competition. I speak Italian and English fluently and am proficient in Spanish.

 

I’m always exploring new ways to tell meaningful stories - whether through film, writing, illustration, or animation.
