Jon Keeyes

Jon Keeyes, born April 5, 1969, out in Fullerton, California—yeah, that’s Orange County, so you can bet he’s got some stories. Dude’s been in the game for a while, but lately, he’s been killing it (sometimes literally) as a producer and director in the indie-thriller scene. You might’ve stumbled across his name on the credits for 2024’s “Cult Killer”—a flick that’s got people buzzing for its gritty vibe and offbeat tension. Not to mention “The Clean Up Crew,” another 2024 joint that definitely doesn’t play by the rules. Keeyes has a knack for dropping characters into chaos and seeing what shakes out—he’s not afraid to get dark or weird, which, honestly, the genre could use more of. And if you thought he was slowing down, nah. He’s got “Guns Up” lined up for 2025, so the man’s on a roll. But hey, it’s not all work and no play. He’s been married to Sarah Keeyes since Halloween 2003—yep, Halloween, which either means they’re spooky soulmates or just really love candy corn. Either way, it’s been a long haul, and considering the chaos of Hollywood relationships, that’s pretty impressive. Keeyes tends to fly a bit under the radar—no big scandals or headline-grabbing drama, just consistent hustle and a streak of creative stubbornness that’s hard not to respect. He’s one of those directors who seems more interested in telling wild stories than chasing the limelight, and honestly, that’s probably why his movies hit different.
