Two years later, he shot ‘Dirch’, the highest-grossing film in Denmark that year. This work earned him a nomination for Best Cinematography at the Danish Film Academy Award, Robert.
Tøffner went on to shoot Thomas Vinterberg's ‘Kollektivet’ (‘The Commune’), which was selected for competition for the Golden Bear at the 66th Berlin Film Festival and earned him another nomination at the Danish Film Academy Award, Robert.

In 2018, he developed the concept for the first Danish Netflix show ‘The Rain’ and shot the first four episodes. Tøffner has also been filming the Danish and German Co-produced TV-series ‘Sommerdahl’ and he has been shooting of the Danish series, 'Cold Hawaii'.
In 2022, Tøffners lastest international feature film, the historical action-drama ‘Medieval’, had its world premiers in Praque, starring Ben Forster, Sophie Lowe, Michael Caine among others. Also, he premieres with the film 'Danicing At The Royal Palaces', with HM The Queen, shot in one of The Queens residences, Amalienborg.
