TEAM
Elisa Correa
Independent Chilean filmmaker and documentary editor Elisa Correa graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Film from the Chile Film School (Escuela de Cine de Chile) in Santiago, followed by an Associate’s degree in Screenwriting from Palermo University in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After graduating, she worked in television production for major broadcasting networks in Chile, including National Television of Chile and Channel 13.
In 2013, Elisa moved to New York and began working as a freelance editor and videographer, collaborating with organizations and production companies including Community Access, American Field Service, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Gallim, Jadore Love, Shutter and Sound, Roche Bobois, Mass Appeal, Mundo Feliz, Aubin Pictures, and Pueblo Sight & Sound.
Over the course of her career, Elisa has developed a strong focus on documentary storytelling, particularly projects that explore social and political realities through intimate, character-driven narratives. Her work is deeply influenced by observational vérité filmmaking and by her lifelong connection to dance and music, which informs her editorial rhythm and cinematic sensibility. She has edited several documentaries including Luchador directed by Marco Ricci, Reggaeton: A Sociopolitical History directed by Raquel Cepeda, Meanwhile directed by Catherine Gund, Primera directed by Vee Bravo, and Three Extraordinary Women directed by Cionin Lorenzo, among others. These films have received recognition and screened at festivals including the Santiago International Film Festival, Tribeca Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival, and Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. Elisa is particularly drawn to documentaries that amplify underrepresented voices and examine the emotional and political dimensions of everyday life through cinematic observation.

Felipe Inostroza
With more than 14 years in postproduction, I progressed from assistant to senior editor, managing complex editorial pipelines and guiding projects from assembly through final delivery. In my early role as an editor’s assistant I maintained meticulous project organization, produced first assembles, and acted as the operational link between lead editors and post houses—work that supported titles at Fábula including Profugos (S2), El Club, Jackie, Ema and Ardiente Paciencia. Internationally I assisted on Chicuarotes with Corriente del Golfo and on O último Azul with Desvío Films in association with Quijote Films.
As my responsibilities grew, I moved into more creative storytelling roles: senior editor on La Jauría (S2) at Fábula, additional editor on Midnight Family, and editorial contributor on Los Mil Días de Allende for Parox. I co‑edited 42 Days of Darkness for Netflix and Fábula, shaping the narrative through a collaborative process while treating the subjects with care and respect. Recent and upcoming work includes editorial contributions to Campeón Gabacho for Pimienta Films. I have also edited music videos, TV commercials and documentary projects, bringing a documentary sensibility and narrative rigor to branded and narrative formats alike.
