April Anderson is a photographer, videographer, editor and "Head Instigator" behind the Art As Air Project, exploring creativity and showcasing artists and life adventurers in whatever medium best represents them. The goal is outreach within communities of all genres and genders in order to create a "world archive," shining a light upon unity, passion and connection.
She is the cinematographer/director/editor for award-winning documentary films; Beyond The Paint, Tails of Iceland and a 2022 documentary release called Fire & Iceland, which is the story of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruption that fascinated the rest of the world, bringing thousands of people to Iceland to experience it during the six months it was active at the tail end of the first Covid-19 lock down. The real story is told by the people who live in the shadows of these volcanoes, talking about the challenges, connections, science and magic of volcanic life as new land is created before their eyes in their own backyards.
Current projects scheduled for release in 2024 include a new documentary, For A Wild Tomorrow, documenting the efforts and passions of the creators and supporters of the Wild Tomorrow Fund who are actively involved in conservation of our endangered wildlife by nurturing habitats and creating corridors for animals to naturally migrate through. They are dedicated to preserve, protect and rewild in South Africa, setting an example for the rest of the world by raising consciousness and awareness of the very real plight of our planet.
April covered events for the Songwriters Hall of Fame for 25 years as in-house photojournalist and as their Marketing/Communications Director and Deputy Secretary, as well as conceiving and editing opening video montages for their Annual Induction and Awards Galas. She continues as Archival Advisor of the photo and video archive she built for the organization during her previous tenure.
