In March 2019, the New Times named Elaine as one of “5 Filmmakers to Watch”. Her film, Me 3.769 was supported by a grant from the Sundance Institute and the Knight Foundation. The film, a Latina coming-of-age drama reflects a Me Too moment in a pubescent Latina's life. Del Valle titled it "Me 3.769" to represent the 3.769 billion women in our world.

Elaine is currently in pre-production to direct her next and most ambitious short film, Princess Cut-a suspenseful and murderous, dark comedy with the theme of classism. The film is adapted from an original stage play, Bitch Brow, from writer Demetra Kareman.

Next on Del Valle's directing slate will be her directorial debut in a feature film- the long awaited screenplay adaptation of her celebrated stage play, Brownsville Bred.
