Filming Life, Music, and Teaching Workshops with Heart with Allison Redmon

⚠️ Note: This episode is from the Intentional Documentary® era and reflects a business-focused season of my work. I’ve kept it here because it explores creativity, visibility, and meaningful teaching through story and sound — especially relevant for anyone expanding into filmmaking or building community through workshops.

Allison Redmon didn’t plan to become a family filmmaker, but a move across the world and a background in music quietly paved the way.

In this episode, she shares how she became booked out in a small town in Saudi Arabia through beginner-level photography workshops — and how that work grew into a thriving creative business rooted in story, sound, and service.

Whether you're film-curious or simply building a slower, more meaningful way to share your work, Allison’s story offers a grounded look at what’s possible.

Topics covered: 

• How Allison transitioned from band director to filmmaker and educator
• Her approach to filming and photographing the same session (and staying present)
• Why music is the emotional backbone of her films
• Behind the scenes of her Filming Life Academy Masterclass
• Smart strategies for teaching beginner photography workshops
• How workshops became her most successful marketing channel
• Teaching from lived experience instead of perfection
• Why one “imperfect” photo of her with her kids is now iconic
