"ALONE I'LL GO FAST...TOGETHER WE’LL GO FAR”
Our Team

Elisa Bonora
Co-Founder / Editor / Producer
With a long list of credits in advertisements and documentaries, Elisa is an ACE & BFE editor, documentary producer and co-founder of Red Wolf Films. Her passion is in telling stories with a strong emotional and poetic arc. Inspired by the expanding community of talented filmmakers in Northern Ireland, Elisa moved from California with her son Giordano to open the doors of Red Wolf in Holywood. Since moving from Hollywood to Holywood, her commute has decreased from 2 hours in traffic to 7 minutes and a walk on the beach. She couldn’t be happier.

Giordano Bonora Groome
Co-Founder / Editor
Giordano learned to walk and talk in the editing room. Raised by a full time editing mother, he learned how to edit in Final Cut by the age of 5. He created his first masterpiece when he was 7 titled “I Like Cheese”. Giordano graduated in Computer Science and French history at Berkeley but the gravitational pull of the editing room was too strong to ignore. In his spare time he likes to throw things at people as hard as he can with the 2022 World Championship Northern Irish Dodgeball team.
