merge with
Epic Motion was launched in 2005, after a year of dabbling in video while I (Ryan) worked at Rochester College.
In 2012, we launched “Tell” as a sister company to Epic Motion. Epic Motion became the brand that told personal stories, and Tell focused on brand stories.
In 2017, we felt it was time to simplify our approach. We would continue telling meaningful stories, with a more focused approach to help businesses.
The heart behind what we do hasn’t changed. We care deeply about people, celebrating life, sharing passions, and moving audiences with our films. Whether we are capturing a big life event or helping businesses grow, we love working with people who have incredible and powerful stories to tell.
It was very hard to say “goodbye” to Epic Motion, but I’ll always be thankful for the journey and the role that Epic Motion played along the way.
Meet
Ryan Koral
With over fifteen years as a documentary filmmaker and business owner, Ryan LOVES building partnerships with clients and telling authentic stories that inspire action and help grow businesses. He’s a husband of sixteen years (and his wife still loves him – seriously!), a proud dad of three kids, and a dog owner (Ruby!!). When not coming up with big ideas, you can usually find him laughing or enjoying a cup of coffee (hopefully not both at the same time).
Fun Fact: Best Dad-Joke-Teller in his house.
Tyler Sharette
With a degree from Hillsdale College and 9 years of diverse professional experience, Tyler is a humble master at cultivating strong relationships and providing strategic planning and program development expertise. He has a passion for bringing people together, and a desire to push for solutions that have the best outcome for everyone. Tyler enjoys spending time with his wife and dog, loves camping, watching movies, playing sports, and renovating his home. Oh, and coffee, all of the coffee.
John Azoni
As Filmmaker and Chief Story Guide at Tell Studios, John wears a lot of creative hats. He gets to consult with our clients on their videos, helping them hone their messaging for maximum impact, which he loves doing. He also directs, shoots and edits many of the projects that come through our door. He and his wife have two gorgeous daughters and a black lab, and love vacations to Northern Michigan.
Fun fact: John was the lead singer and guitarist in a punk band in high school. He had spiked dyed-blond hair and a single pierced ear. Very cool at the time.
Grant McClure
Grant graduated from Specs Howard School of Media Arts. He is happily married and has 5 beautiful children. Besides being a husband and father, Grant enjoys playing and watching sports, drinking coffee, building things, running, and eating. A lot of eating. His dream job is to create inspiring video content with people he loves at a place he loves going to. Sounds like he is already living out his dream!
Fun Fact: Grant loves to sing! He sang bass II in the “Rochester College A Cappella Chorus” and did vocal percussion (beat-boxing) in a small vocal ensemble called “Autumn” in college. He is now part of the “Rochester College Alumni Chorus”.
Carolyn Mrowczynski
Carolyn recently stepped into the Project Manager role, where she gets to work closely with clients, ensure that the team is meeting their deadlines and keeping projects organized. She graduated from Oakland University with a degree in Communications and has a background in sports TV production. Carolyn loves being back in Michigan after living in Connecticut for four years. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Her favorite part of working at Tell Studios is the work ethic that everyone shares and the positive energy.

Andrew Olszewski
Graduating summa cum laude from DePaul University in Chicago, Andrew is overjoyed to be back in his home state working for Tell Studios. He loves being part of a team that comes to work each day excited to create stories that impact others. He enjoys long walks with his dog, and playing all of the sports…all of them. If you’re looking for someone with the blandest taste in food, he’s your guy, but that can’t be said about his filmmaking. He loves crafting stories for clients but also experimenting with the medium of film.
Fun Fact: Andrew has an extensive knowledge of shoes, and a nice collection too.
