Redford’s second son, James — known as Jamie — was a gifted filmmaker who made his mark producing, directing, and writing award-winning projects including The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia.

Married for 35 years to his wife Kyle, James and Kyle had two children, Dylan, who works for The Borscht Corporation, and Lena, who has carved her path in digital storytelling for companies like SuperDeluxe and Illumination Entertainment.
