Christian Sesma

Director / Actor / Producer

Christian was inspired to pursue his passion for storytelling after reading Robert Rodriguez’s Rebel without a Crew while attending SDSU. Self taught, he made his first feature in 2006, which was released domestically on VOD and DVD everywhere and has since made a name for himself in the indie action space as a genre filmmaker. After a handful of low budget features he made Vigilante Diaries, which debut at SD Comic Con, and was HBO’s first under a million dollar action film acquired in over a decade. Sesma followed up with the indie heist movie PayDirt, starring Luke Goss and Val Kilmer, then quickly went into production on two films during the pandemic lockdown. The action thriller, Take Back, with Mickey Rourke and Micheal Jai White and Every Last One of Them starring Academy Award winner Richard Dreyfuss, Taryn Manning and Jake Weber. Christian re teamed with Richard Dreyfuss on the thriller Abandonment in 2021 and made back to back action films set for release in 2022 — Section 8, starring Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Dermot Mulroney and Ryan Kwanton and Lights Out with Frank Grillo, Mekhi Pfiefer, Scott Adkins and Jamie King. Sesma is the head of Seskri Film Inc., a production company committed towards creating mainstream stories and developing new projects for the Latin-X market across multiple genres.
