Show Notes
In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Steve Ringrose — the director of Blue Ridge Films and the inventor of the MicMag.
With over 12 years of wedding filmmaking experience, Steve has witnessed huge changes in the industry and successfully evolved his business and style to stay ahead of the curve.
In this open and honest conversation, Steve shares the bold steps he’s taken to adapt to the current downturn in the wedding industry, why leaving your ego at the door is essential for long-term success, and how a simple idea he had in the shower turned into the MicMag — a fast-selling product that helps filmmakers discreetly hide TX650 microphones.
This is a brilliant episode for anyone looking to innovate, adapt, and thrive in the ever-changing world of wedding filmmaking.
