  Storyteller was a budding star

  Erin Hembrador was an award-winning Filipina-Canadian filmmaker who had a knack for telling “poignant and sincere” stories of the diaspora. The budding talent was nominated for Best Manitoba Director Award for her debut film, Piece of Mind, at the Gimli Film Festival in 2018. At the FascinAsian Film Festival in 2022, she had won Best Prairie Short for her film Mansanas, and Best Canadian Short for Container, which she co-directed with fellow filmmaker Quan Luong. Hembrador had just wrapped up shooting another film when she died, unexpectedly. “Erin loved to make films. She would have her full-time job, but would take the time in the evening to write scripts and apply for grants. She’d have to figure out locations, casting and things like that. She would be stressed out, but she did a good job balancing things,” her husband Elfren-Ray Raquin shares.
