Martin Edralin is a Canadian film director.[1] He is most noted for his 2014 short film Hole, which won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015,[2] and the award for Best Canadian Short Film at the 205 Inside Out Film and Video Festival.[3]

He has also directed the short films Welcome to La Hesperia (2006), The Greater Toronto Trip (2007), Sara & Jim (2010), The Tragedy of Henry J. Bellini (2010), Jane (2011), Building History: The Story of Benjamin Brown (2016), Tkanina (2016), Emma (2016) and Calvin (2018). Emma was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's year-end Canada's Top Ten list in 2016.[4]

His feature film debut, Islands, was supported by Telefilm Canada's Talent to Watch funding program in 2018.[5] The film follows a middle-aged Phillopino man, who had always lived with his parents, who faces a life alone as he sees their health decline, and his attempts to try dating, when he is past his best-before date.[6]
