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

Her short film 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 Objectifs Short Film Incubator 2021, in partnership with Momo Film Co. She is a current member of Meerkat Media Collective, and one half of the Crybabies Production and Katsusaurus Art duos.
She takes too many photographs and videos collected in mountains of hard drives.
