Acowsay
Acowsay began in 2014 as the brainchild of Tyler Eichorst, owner + creative director. Beginning with the idea that video should be more than just moving images pieced together, but stories about people told through a more creative perspective. Acowsay is a production studio with an intentionally crafted creative team that is capable of developing high end, purposed video content. We use video to tell stories about people for brands and organizations looking to align their values with current and prospective customers, creating original content that is delivered on a variety of channels, in a multitude of formats.

Ryo Hamasaki
My creative vision originated growing up in Tokyo, between the glowing streets of Tokyo and the serene stillness of my mother’s tea practice—a contrast that taught me to notice what often goes unseen. This dual perspective informs my approach to photography, allowing me to weave together cultural nuances, fresh perspectives, and unique compositions that make my storytelling through images distinct. Now based in Minneapolis, I specialize in event, portrait, landscape, and short-form video production, creating narratives that go beyond capturing moments.
