Erica Wong Ping Lun is a female Canadian composer for film, TV, and video games, known for her melodic, instrumental scores to award-winning animations and indie dramas that have been showcased in national and international film festivals. Erica trained professionally as a flautist and often incorporates this melodic instrument into her scores to capture elements of whimsy and wonder. Her scoring credits include the adventure/fantasy LES FLEURS DE PRINTEMPS, which was awarded Best Animation Film at the CEGEP du Vieux Montréal Gala and premiered at Festival Fantasia, the playful coming-of-age drama ÉCLAIRCIE, and the science fiction L’ANATOMIE DU TEMPS.

Erica won Best Sound at the Ontario International Film Festival and was nominated for Best Sound Design in a Canadian Feature 2021 for her work on the feature film, THE PETRICHOR, which was also awarded Best Feature Film at numerous festivals. The animated film THE OCEAN DUCK, for which she edited the audio and worked on the sound design, was Academy Award-Qualifying, won both the Best of the South Award ASIFAC-South Animation Festival and the Jury Award at the New York International Children’s Film Festival 2022, and was presented at other festivals such as the San Francisco International Film Festival 2022 and the Austin Film Festival 2021.

Classically trained, Erica was part of the orchestration team for the Bollywood feature film, MERI NIMMO, assisted on the music production side of the National Film Board of Canada’s feature documentary, LUBEN AND ELENA, and performed flute on both the web series, PET PURAN, and the title song O Kala for the feature film by the same name O KALA.
