Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and creative director behind Bryson Studios, crafting cinematic stories that blend culture and craft. His work spans campaigns and documentaries for Anthony Edwards, CBS Sports, Sprite, Amazon Prime, Care.com, and the Minnesota Twins.
His documentary A Letter to Bryson won Best Documentary at the Twin Cities Film Festival. He also founded the Twin Cities Toy Drive, delivering 22,000+ toys to BIPOC children and families.
Whether directing a commercial or organizing a toy drive, the mission stays the same: to inspire action, uplift voices, and create stories that make an impact.
The name and the heart behind the studio. At nine years old, Bryson is a 2023 Pokémon League District Champion and creative director of the Twin Cities Toy Drive, where his real job is making sure every toy passes the kid test.
He’s the studio’s chief idea-tester, resident hype-man, and quality-control on anything that needs to be certified cool. Most of all, he’s the reason every film we make is a letter to the next generation.
The Twin Cities Toy Drive is a community-powered movement created to bring joy, dignity, and hope to BIPOC children and families across Minneapolis and St. Paul.
What started as a simple idea, collecting toys during the holidays, has grown into a citywide tradition rooted in creativity and care, with local artists and companies designing custom collection boxes that turn drop-off sites into mini art installations reflecting the culture and brilliance of our communities.
More than just gifts, the Twin Cities Toy Drive is about reminding kids that they are seen and celebrated.

This brand spot was created to celebrate Napheesa Collier's WNBA MVP run by showing the power of seeing yourself in your heroes.
Instead of featuring Napheesa directly, we centered the story around a young girl in her bedroom, using posters, trophies and small details in her space to reveal she's a devoted fan who's already achieving many of the same things.
The story isn't just about a girl dreaming of becoming Napheesa. It's about a girl who's already winning, already thinking like a future businesswoman, proving that the true impact of a role model is how they unlock what's already inside you.
