While still a student, she began acting in Israeli television and films, including Srugim, Shiva, The Ran Quadruplets, My Lovely Sister, and Yona. In 2013, Elkaslassy completed the filmmaking track at the Minshar School for Art in Tel Aviv and graduated with honors.

Her thesis film, which took on the subject of domestic violence, was produced with support from the Israeli Ministry of Culture and Sport, the Gesher Multicultural Film Fund and the Yehoshua Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts. 

Elkaslassy wrote, directed, and starred in the short film Here I Am... There You Are, which was an Official Selection at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, an Official Selection at the Seattle International Film Festival, and selected for the Official Competition at the American Film Institute’s AFI Fest. The film received a nomination for the Ophir, the Israeli Academy of Film and Television award, for Best Short Film of 2014.
