“Former Yacht Chef Turned Cinematographer: Will Film For Fried Chicken”
"Life is too short to live a mediocre story." From escaping a cult, cooking aboard sailing yachts, to launching a successful production company, spicy millennial Shelby Ring lives by this creed. The Chief Cat Herder and executive director of Ruby Riot Creatives— Austin, TX + Charleston, SC-based production house that specializes in video production, photography and branding strategy. When she's not directing commercials or writing script narratives, you might find her blues dancing, on the back of a motorcycle, or free diving at Barton Springs.
WHY YOU WANT HER ON YOUR SHOW:
She's spent the last decade telling other people's stories; now, it's time to share her own. Her love of filming began below sea level in schools of Baitfish while freediving. She's come a long way from her first paying event gig of a nudist wedding; 11 years and scaling to two cities later, Shelby’s still obsessed with being a dork underwater, and perpetually has a camera in her hand.
Experiencing quite a journey of loss and infertility in her life, Shelby is a champion and an advocate for women and couples finding their sense of sovereignty and joy in the adventure, no matter what cards they’re dealt.
Leaving a cult environment that taught women their self worth lies in childbearing, and submitting to their husbands without question; Shelby is a champion and an advocate for women in business, and believes in an building autonomous life defined by your terms, and living your adventure story.
