Founded in 2006, Maple Films Ltd. is a Cleveland, Ohio based multimedia production company that focuses primarily on narrative filmmaking and other creative efforts. Sometimes we get into internationally acclaimed film festivals, and sometimes we just make something really silly and upload it to YouTube. Our goal is to entertain audiences, pure and simple.

DUSTIN LEE (WRITER/DIRECTOR/PRODUCER)
Ever since his mother gave him his first video camera at the age of 14, Dustin has been passionate about filmmaking. He has directed, shot and edited several award-winning short films over the years, most of which can be found on this website! Since indie filmmaking rarely pays the bills, Dustin spends his work week creating videos for Progressive Insurance. He is always looking for a new story to share with audiences. His favorite films include Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, ET, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
JON JIVAN (PRODUCER/CINEMATOGRAPHER)
A veteran of two Iraq tours and hundreds of short length productions (only two of which being cat videos), Jon is the team’s critical eye and often-tapped editor. He brings a deep interest in photography, a fondness for cinematography, and over a decade of video editing experience. His favorite films are the Back to the Future Trilogy, the original Star Wars Trilogy, Moon and Children of Men.

TERRY GEER (WRITER/PRODUCER)
Although it only says Writer/Producer next to his name, Terry is in fact a Swiss Army Knife of film talent. He has directed, scored, edited, designed sound effects, ran camera, and even acted...sometimes all in one film production! To put it simply, there is nothing that Terry cannot do. His favorite films include Ghostbusters, Star Wars, and pretty much anything by Wes Anderson.
