Heyjin Jun - Crew

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.
