“Elaine is an exceptional filmmaker with a unique vision for carving out her artistic path. I had the pleasure of witnessing her talent when she directed me during a Toyota campaign. From our first meeting, I noticed a wonderful blend of strength, professionalism, and kindness. She possesses remarkable communication skills and an exceptional ability to bring her creative ideas to life. I look forward to working with her again, and I am confident that her career will continue to thrive. I will consider myself lucky when our paths cross again. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her should feel extremely privileged.”

How can you increase efficiency as a leader in film production?
I have learned to invest in a great caterer, and provide healthy craft services. I assign production assistants to bring and offer the grip, gaff and production design teams who work hard getting the set right. I also greet everyone by name and introduce myself to new faces. I send them BTS photos that remind them of the great work they achieve in our work together.

How can you increase efficiency as a leader in film production?
Hire skilled and supportive heads of departments and give them creative freedom. Communicate your vision and ask them to wow you, and try to do something they’ve always wanted to do. Ask them to bring you three choices to create joint leadership and pride.

How can you increase efficiency as a leader in film production?
Learn and use every tool to clarify your vision. As a director I love programs like previs pro, which help me and others see the story clearly and understand the camera. As a producer I use Studiobinder which helps me to create the best use of time. Also get great heads of department and let them build their own team. Give your team the tools they need to accomplish your vision.

"Me 3.769. Miami Beach resident Elaine del Valle has worked as a casting director for nearly a decade. In recent years, her interest in directing and producing has grown. In 2017, she produced the short film Victor & Isolina, which screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Del Valle’s latest work, Me 3.769, centers on Latina girlhood and is inspired by true events. Del Valle adapted the script from her celebrated one-woman play Brownsville Bred, which ran off-Broadway in New York. The film’s 10-year-old protagonist, Elaine (Samantha Lopez), uses a fashion magazine as her aspirational guide and scrutinizes her prepubescent body in a way that will likely recall awkward memories for many. A family trip to the beach brings the harsh realities of her burgeoning womanhood to the forefront. Coming in at just under nine minutes, Me 3.769 delivers a powerful message for women everywhere. "

"That multidisciplinary, experimental spirit lives on today, and a number of award-winning one-person theatrical shows have evolved from spoken word performances developed there. Sarah Jones’s 2005 show “Bridge and Tunnel,” which won a Tony Award, and Elaine del Valle’s 2014 “Brownsville Bred” are standouts."
