Born and raised in sunny California, ASHER KAPLAN has been making films ever since he could hold a camera. Over the years, that passion has led him to direct 13 short films and counting, each diving into deep and often mysterious topics that explore the unknown and tackle questions that don’t have easy answers. Most of his films revolve around the contact point between what we experience in reality, the human experience, and pondering the unknown about the constructs of time and physics.

Music has always been a huge part of his life, too. He started playing drums and piano at just five years old and has been composing original scores for the last eight years, adding an emotional layer to his films that resonates with audiences.

Kaplan has plenty of experience working with actors, crew members, and even other directors. He thrives on collaboration, helping to bring his thought-provoking stories to life. He’s excited to keep exploring these complex themes and creating films that inspire curiosity and conversation.
