Same Hands Productions’ goal is to create a home for Orange County filmmakers with any level of experience. We want to provide the resources OC filmmakers drive up to Los Angeles for. The creativity in Orange County is often over looked and we want to change that. Same Hands is dedicated to helping those that have a story to tell but may not have the resources to tell it. Whether you need headshots done, a script looked over, or help making the short film you’ve always dreamed of, Same Hands is here to help.

I write, produce, direct, edit and act. I take care of the creative side of things. I want to create a space on our sets that promotes collaboration and creativity.

“I want to create a portal for local filmmakers. The philosophy being if you can tell a story with the resources at your possession we can provide the necessary resources for you to fully fulfill your vision.”

If you have seen a Same Hands shirt at the movies, it was most likely me. I handle the business and networking side of the company. I enjoy attending film festivals and getting to know as many people and parts of the business as I can. Every project is a collaboration between Connor and I, and I help with the creative process when needed.
Co-Founder
“My whole life I’ve searched for a place where I felt accepted. I feel that when I’m at the movies, on set, and around other filmmakers. I want to stay with that feeling and share it with others. My mission is to do that with this company.”
Izzy Cristerna
Social Media manager & head of merchandise
I’m not well versed in the world of filmmaking or film production but I do know art. Every poster, flyer, and shirt has been handmade by me. In a world full of generative AI I wanted to make sure Same Hands had a human making their artwork.
“If there’s one thing I need to be in life, it’s an artist. Art has connected people across the world and throughout time. I want my art to be another way Same Hands can connect with people. Don’t forget to have fun and be yourself!”

“My favorite thing about watching a good movie is the moment when you get fully immersed in it, like you are physically there, feeling the same emotions as the character on screen. Whether it’s sadness, pure joy, or all the complex stuff in between; my goal is to make sure the audience feels it.”
I produce, write, act and help wherever I’m needed on set, being the “Swiss Army knife” of the team. I’ll step in for any task, as long as it means helping the vision come to life.
