Derick Cabrido's ascent in Philippine cinema is not merely marked by the films he's directed-it's etched in the accolades that have followed his bold, socially resonant storytelling. Raised in Tondo, Manila, Cabrido emerged from one of the country's most densely populated and underserved communities with a vision that would challenge conventions and elevate marginalized voices. His work, whether in documentary or narrative form, has consistently fused emotional depth with unflinching realism, earning him recognition both locally and abroad. His early foray into documentary filmmaking laid the foundation for his reputation as a truth-seeker. Pinays for Export, a searing exposé on sex trafficking, earned him the Bronze World Medal at the 2009 New York Television Festival. This was followed by Tasaday, which won the Silver Screen Award at the 2010 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival, and Yaman sa Basura, which garnered the Silver World Medal at the 2012 New York Festivals and was a finalist at the UNICEF Asia-Pacific Child Rights Awards. These honors not only validated his skill but underscored his commitment to development communication, culminating in the Outstanding Achievement Award at the 9th Hildegarde Awards. Cabrido's transition to narrative filmmaking was equally triumphant. His debut feature, Children's Show, a gritty tale of survival and fractured family dynamics, swept the 2014 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival, winning Best Editing, Best Sound Design, Canon Best Cinematography, and Best Supporting Actor. Internationally, the film earned the Grand Prize Award at the Gwangju International Film Festival and the Special Jury Prize at Fantasporto (Orient Express Category). At the Fantastic Cinema Festival in Arkansas, Texas, Children's Show received the Special Jury Award, Best Screenplay, and the Emerging Director Award, solidifying Cabrido's reputation as a filmmaker of global relevance. His subsequent works continued to garner acclaim. Clarita, a supernatural horror rooted in historical exorcism accounts, won him two Best Director titles at the 2020 International Film Fantasy Awards and the Best Story Award at the 15th Gawad Tanglaw Awards. M In 2023, Cabrido reached another career milestone with Mallari, a psychological horror film that blends folklore with historical crime. The film dominated the PMPC Star Awards, winning Movie Director of the Year and Movie of the Year, further cementing his status as a master of genre storytelling with cultural depth. Beyond the trophies, Cabrido's legacy lies in his ability to provoke thought and stir emotion. His films are not just cinematic experiences-they are social commentaries, emotional excavations, and calls to reflection. Through his courageous narratives and visual precision, Derick Cabrido continues to redefine Southeast Asian cinema, proving that awards are not the end goal, but rather the echo of stories that matter.
