The Team
Daniel Strasser
Producer
Armed with an MFA and a vision that rivals the greats, Daniel brings Hollywood-level storytelling to Tell Studios. He kicked off his filmmaking journey at 15, mastering the art of captivating audiences before he could even drive.
From learning under an Oscar-nominated director to snagging Best Cinematography awards, Daniel's passion for the craft is as unstoppable as his coffee consumption. At Tell Studios, he's the go-to guy for turning bold ideas into visual masterpieces.
When he's not crafting the next viral video, Daniel's adventuring with his wife and their four fur children. You might catch him hiking in nature or saving virtual worlds in fantasy RPGs.
Fun Facts:
- Collects awards like some collect stamps
- Fur-parent to four (yes, four!) pets
- Can defeat Orcs and edit videos simultaneously
Nick Stevenson
Lead Editor
From studio assistant to Lead Editor, Nick's journey at Tell Studios is a testament to his passion and skill. He's the wizard behind the editing suite, transforming raw footage into compelling stories that captivate audiences.
Nick's love for filmmaking bloomed in high school, nurtured by media production classes and YouTube adventures with friends. His experience both behind and in front of the camera brings a unique perspective to every project.
If you can't find him at the studio crafting perfect cuts, Nick's probably at the gym, belting out tunes, or diving into the latest blockbuster for inspiration.
Fun Facts:
- Triple threat: Editor, cameraman, and actor
- Karaoke champion (self-proclaimed)
- His dad was Ryan Koral's college professor (small world, huh?)

In his "spare" time, Ryan helps other video studios level up through his online membership, weekly podcast, and masterclass courses.
