Her projects as a director include short experimental performance film KAPATID, commissioned by Maharlika UK Filipino Artists with the support of Arts Council England, which premiered at Binisaya World Film Festival 2023.

Malindi’s interests as a filmmaker lie in the spaces where cultures cross paths and merge, in relationships and relationality, and in the humour that can be found in life’s absurdity.
