While working at Studio Operations in Warner Bros., she was among the women selected for the Women in Film's Mentor Circle in Los Angeles.

She recently premiered the first animated Netflix film from the Philippines: Avid Longren’s “Hayop ka!” which is historically the only Filipino film to compete at the prestigious Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

E del Mundo’s VR project as director/writer, “The Warship”, was the pioneering selection for the Biennale College Cinema-VR that culminated at the 74th Venice Film Festival. Her short film “Manong ng Pa-Aling” won Best Director at the 13th Cinemalaya Film Festival, Jury Prize at the 32nd Fribourg Int’l Film Festival, and was an official selection of Locarno Film Festival, ShortShorts Tokyo and ExGround Film Festival, among others.

The project was selected at the 2021 Open Doors Hub by the Locarno Film Festival where the script won the Sorfond Award and a developmental fund of 15,000 Swiss francs. “Sam” is the only Filipino project in the prestigious Cannes L’Atelier Cinefondation 2022.
