April began making films as a teen, after having been trained in the fine, visual and performing arts since she was a small child. As an avid playwright, she later pursued degrees in broadcasting, international business and linguistics major, until she realized that “the cameras should be telling stories”. This idea is what lead her to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where she graduated with a BFA in film and television production, focusing on screenwriting, producing and directing and pursued an MA in Cinematography at NYU’s Gallatin Division. She has workshopped with a number of Oscar nominated directors and actors, and went on to work in both the studio and independent side of film and television production in a variety of capacities as a writer, director, producer and DP.  Atypical Pictures was birthed out of the idea of how to tell unique stories that matter. Her goal is to leave a positive impact on the world through community service and the art of storytelling.
