a personal note :

Hi, I’m April. As a filmmaker, I have spent years honing my creative expertise as a visual storyteller. I direct, shoot, and produce all of my films with a keen awareness to the details of your story. I believe great storytellers are collectors of emotions, sounds, environments and moments. It is my job to take you back to those feelings and moments through film and story.

 

“It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the
story needs a great storyteller.” - Alan Rickman
