and I'm a multi-creative
woman!
HELLO! I'm Alicia...
I believe everyone has God given gifts—
I'd like to help you maximize yours!
As a very young girl, (emphasis on very :)) I absolutely loved television. I knew every commercial jingle and most TV show theme songs, Thelma (Bern Nadette Stanis) on Good Times was my inspiration, and I even "directed" my little brother, and sometimes his friends, in performances. Creativity was natural to me.
Entertainment and performance were in my blood, and they ran deep.
During my preteen and teenage years, the middle and high schools I attended offered dance and drama activities. Enter… Theater!
Although I was rather shy and introverted, I discovered I loved the stage and relished every moment of learning, rehearsal, performance, and simply being in the presence of fellow creatives.
When it was time to attend University, I checked off the box to major in Theater, however, I was advised by my very well-meaning family, that it wasn’t a "sensible" decision, thus, it became my minor.
The thing is, the arts were never "minor" for me. The desire to express myself in this way has NEVER LEFT, and I spent years MINIMIZING what I should have been MAXIMIZING!
It's been a long journey to accept my gifts and calling—to pursue who I am—and over the last 8 years I've been in pursuit more than ever.
Today, I am a writer, director, producer, graphic designer, author, teacher, speaker, and yes… still a performer! I've acquired IMDB credits that include 8 Producing credits (including 3 TV movies and 1 theatrical release), 4 Writer credits (including 2 for TV) 3 Casting Director credits, 3 Directing credits, 2 Acting credits, and 2 Editing credits. I've been the recipient of acknowledgements and awards within the industry, including Best Short Film, a Best Actress nomination, and a Cincinnati Indie Filmmaker of the year award from a local festival.
Currently, I'm in the process of writing my first Sweet Romance novella and creating a series out of my short film, Willows.
Independent film directing projects can be viewed at ALICIA REDMOND ENVISIONS.
My journey is continuously unfolding. It's been the catalyst of my desire to teach others how to be "UNBOX.ED"; to shout from the rooftop that you are not "crazy", you're just CREATIVE! And that God specially gifted you to be your unique and wonderfully creative self!
We all have gifts, natural and spiritual. Our goal is to discover the treasure within and release that treasure to the people God has called us to touch. And guess what? You CAN DO IT and you can thrive in it! I believe in you.
Blessings to you on YOUR journey!
Create well,
Alicia
