About Us

Same Brain Productions is a Los Angeles-based production company focused on inventive, character-driven storytelling across film, television, animation, and beyond. Our goal is to take every idea and put it on the "Order Wheel". We pitch an idea. You like it or you don't. Ok, next idea on the wheel... Spin it for a different idea. It's a concept we call the Umbrella Project. We are collecting ideas (so far only our own) with the intention of getting each one perfected and made.

Why Same Brain

Because Same Brain reflected our unity of thought. When we started this, we recognized that we shared a vision of productions that were driven by artists and not the accountants. We strive for collaborative storytelling, where one person may have the original idea, but we come together to clarify the details and make it something unique. Something fun!

We have often worked together to create new ideas, riffing off each other like class-clown goofballs. Whole scenarios have come to life while taking long road trips and spontaneously becoming characters in the moment - having entire conversations from the perspective of some bizarre personality, until suddenly... We recognize the beauty in it and start writing it down.

Other times the ideas have come to us through observation of the human condition, or through thought experiments into the dark places of the mind. Sometimes the stories come from history, or science, but no matter where they come from, they're coming from us - the artists.

What we make

Our primary focus is on Animation and Puppet Shows, though we are not opposed to live action productions. We currently have many shows in the works with several already in various states of production:

• Shows: like Learn To Paint Good, our puppet comedy spoof of instructional painting shows, or our upcoming (codenamed) "Fleece Fighter" project.
• Animated Series: Check out our current list of projects at our projects page.
