Emily Redden

Founder & Executive Producer

Emily Redden trained as a classical singer for most of her life. After graduating from the University of KY with a BM in Voice Performance, she moved to Atlanta to pursue a career in opera, musical theater, and film. Her passion for film has thrived in the city dubbed "New Hollywood". However with the COVID-19 shutdown in early March, Emily began to focus her energies elsewhere.

​

She founded Free Nation Productions after participating in the protests against police brutality in 2020. Emily wants to use her platform to educate and liberate anyone she can reach. She is incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported this vision along the way and hopes to continue producing meaningful content in Atlanta for many years.
