Kerttu Jaatinen BIO + CV
Kerttu Jaatinen is a professional film editor and creative storyteller with a passion for shaping narratives that resonate. With experience across both animation and live-action, she has served as lead editor on award-winning TV series and films, including Mister8 (Canneseries 2021 winner) and Mental (Sekasin), which earned multiple Venla Awards in Finland.
Known for her clear communication, calm presence, and sharp problem-solving skills, Kerttu is a trusted collaborator in fast-paced production environments. She is drawn to emotionally rich and visually inventive stories - and thrives when helping bring them to life through editing.
Her most recent work was as Supervising Picture Editor on Super Duper Bunny League at Gigglebug Entertainment (airing on Nick Jr. in the US), where she led a four-person editorial team working across Finland, France, and the US. She has also worked as a Digital Imaging Technician (DIT) and freelance editor in both television and feature film productions.
In addition to client work, Kerttu develops personal projects under her artist alias Kerttu Varjo, exploring experimental and poetic forms of storytelling. She has received arts grants to support her independent film work and continues to grow her artistic practice.
Kerttu founded Noita Digital Oy in 2017. As of early 2025, the company is inactive ("pöytälaatikossa"), and she now handles freelance invoicing through Mediakunta when traditional employment contracts aren’t possible.
