Maples has won awards for both his narrative shorts and corporate work. His short comedy film, Indestructible, played the festival circuit winning the audience award at the Dam Short Film Festival. In 2011 he was a finalist in the Nokia & Vimeo filmmaking challenge where his work premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. In 2012 his spec commercial for AT&T won 2nd place in the Mofilm/SXSW competition - a critically acclaimed international film contest.
His feature length documentary, Pass the Music, chronicling the Los Angeles music indie scene, was released in 2012. Amongst other projects, Maples is currently developing a short music based comedy film and working on feature script.
