About

Hi, I’m Junko Kajino. I’m a documentary editor and storyteller with a deep passion for shaping real-world stories through editing. My background spans producing, scriptwriting, and directing feature films, and I’m proficient in Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro. I also handle sound mixing, color grading, and full production work on set, including camera and sound.

I’ve edited documentary series, reality TV, and interviews for projects such as the Chicago Sinfonietta Gala (2026), Center for Good Food Purchasing, and CGTN’s Life in Chicago South Side. For samples and more of my work, visit homesickblues.com.
