After graduating from the University of Illinois, Tiemann’s student film about a nuclear holocaust, Golden Years, was taste enough for him to uproot from Chicago and move to Los Angeles to begin his seminal movement of filmmaking. After film school at UCLA and HFI, his directorial debut was a controversial short film about AIDS and euthanasia called Sunset. Tiemann wrote, directed, and produced the film, birthing his unique surreal, epic film style. It won the Audience Choice Award at the Damah International Film Festival, in addition to securing a distribution deal which launched his writing and directing career.〔(IMDB, 2005, Retrieved 2012-03-05 )〕 After a bout of feature screenwriting, Tiemann's feature film Circle was greenlit. Tiemann wrote and produced the film and directed second unit while collaborating with ASC award winner and two-time Emmy award winner Michael Watkins.

In addition, Tiemann recently had another of his features, Drop In, greenlit and he has been hired to direct and produce in the fall. The film is slated to be made into a TV series. In 2012, Tiemann was hired for his creative eye as Director of Photography for Bravo's Gallery Girls, a docu-drama that followed the lives of six young, twenty-something women working in New York City's hippest art galleries. Also in 2012, collaborating once again with The Buried Life producer, Donnie Eichar, Tiemann began another generational specific project delving into the electronic music scene with the feature documentary, Tronic. Tiemann then went on to produce Married to the Army; Alaska, for 44 Blue Productions and the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).
