Director

Ryan Thielen

Ryan Thielen is an emmy-winning producer/director based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ryan hit the ground running in the film industry by starting Triglass Productions while still in college. Not one to stand still, Ryan pioneered two original types of content in the sports industry: the cinematic themed NFL Pro Bowl videos known as the "Vikings Prime" series, and the animated photography series known as "Prime Stats." The Pro Bowl videos were the first ever to take an innovative cinematic approach while promoting star NFL players for their Pro Bowl bid. Ryan utilizes his passion for storytelling to continue to push and improve himself in all areas of filmmaking. Beginning as an editor, he quickly branched off into producing, directing, writing, cinematography, and media consulting for the Minnesota Vikings. His work with the Vikings led to an Emmy Nomination. Ryan has also won two Hermes Creative Awards for his television commercials, and has been selected to several film festivals for various videos and films.
