Shelby Redfield Kilgore
Shelby Redfield Kilgore has been producing reality/documentary series for over 15 years, after graduating from UF with a bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications in 2006. Once Shelby became an established producer, with two Daytime Emmy wins under her belt, she became confident enough to start her passion project of spreading education and awareness about foster care and adoption through the video lens.
As an adoptee from Korea, the first time she told her adoption story on camera was when she was 17. It turned out to be an incredibly healing experience for her, and a dream was born - she knew one day she would help others share their stories. About a decade later, in 2012 she filmed her first few interviews and launched her passion work in 2013.
