Director, Writer, Producer

Minerva Navasca is a Filipino-Canadian filmmaker exploring stories of cultural dysphoria and girlhood with intimate specificity. She grounds her films in her own experiences, stating “I want to make films about subjects that make me uncomfortable”. And so, Minerva delves into perspectives steeped in anxiety and internalized shame, using the medium to interrogate the socio-political roots of these beliefs. In sharing these narratives openly, she hopes to stir empathetic discourse and self-compassion within audiences.
