Margarita Mina is a Filipino filmmaker and artist from Quezon City, currently based in Brooklyn, NYC. 

Utilizing digital video, film photography, and journal entries, her projects draw from a fascination with the weird intricacies of the female identity, the chaos of growing up, the stories of people on the margins, and the blurring of fiction with non-fiction in everyday documentation. 

Her short film Nung Nawala Ang Aso Ko (Puppy Love) has been screened in competition at the Fribourg International Film Festival where it won the Réseau Cinéma Suisse, as well as the Singapore International Film Festival, and Encounters Film Festival, among others. Her screenplay dead bodies are just rocks was also selected for the Singapore-based Objectifs Short Film Incubator 2021, in partnership with Momo Film Co.

She is currently developing her next short film Lovingly, Leaving Me, and is slowly developing her first feature Namumula-mula (my skin turns pink in the summer). Aside from writing and directing her own films, she also works as an assistant director, cinematographer and editor. 

This website is her practice in remembering, and to stop being so scared of sharing her tiny stories.
