Heyjin Jun was born and raised in a part of the Korean countryside where there wasn't a single movie theater. Beginning in third grade, she would spend weekends with her parents volunteering at facilities for the destitute and neglected - playing violin for people who had never heard western classical music, and giving the elderly massages to ease their pain. While spending time with these people, they would tell her their unique and personal stories, often of suffering and struggle. When she came to America at age 21, she was quickly struck by the social impact a single film can have, and started dreaming of telling the stories of people who have been forgotten by the rest of the world. She went on to study at the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television, which accelerated her experiences in narrative storytelling, and graduated from the program Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. And she received her MFA degree in cinematography from USC School of Cinematic Arts. She is an award winning cinematographer and a recipient of Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) award in filmmaking, Peter Stark Memorial Scholarship, and Thomas Bush Endowed Fund. Her fiction films have screened at Sundance Film Festival, Austin Film Festival, etc. Her clients are various from GitHub, Slack, and HBO/Sesame Street to educational institutions such as Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University, and University of Southern California Viterbi Engineering School.
