Margarita Mina is a Filipino filmmaker from Quezon City, currently based in Brooklyn, New York. 

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 films include Nung Nawala Ang Aso Ko/Puppy Love (SGIFF 2017, Winner of Réseau Cinéma Suisse at FIFF 2018), BABY FAT (QCinema 2025, NBR Student Grant Winner 2025, Rolling Stone Philippines’ “The Best Filipino Films of 2025”), and personal diary films scattered on the Internet. Her screenplay dead bodies are just rocks was also selected for the Objectifs Short Film Incubator 2021, in partnership with Momo Film Co.

Marga is currently in post-production for her hybrid short Lovingly, Leaving Me, doing pre-production for her next short small shimmers (munting ningning), and 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. 

She is an active member of Meerkat Media Collective, and one half of the Crybabies Production and Katsusarus Art duos.

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