Director

April Mullen

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

April Mullen is a Canadian film and television actress, director and producer. In 2012, Mullen became the first woman to direct a live action, fully stereoscopic 3D feature film, Dead Before Dawn (2012). In 2015, she directed the neo-noir grindhouse feature film 88 (2015).

Mullen was sought out for comment when the study, Women in View on Screen, concluded Canadian women mostly get to sit in the director's chair on small film and television projects, while men get the big-budget projects.
