Johnny “BJ” King, (born March 8, 1968), is from Pasadena, California. A

former student of John Muir high school which is known for a number of

notable graduates such as baseball legend Jackie Robinson, Van Halen

front man David Lee Roth, Olympic Gold Medalist Inger Miller and NBA

Stars Stacey Augmon and Jacque Vaughn to name a few.

After having been exposed to the fast life at a very young age he found

himself placed in a position upon which he ultimately ended up spending

nearly four years in a state prison.

A young father and determined to change his life, BJ decided to pursue his

passion for music. A chance meeting with American Mogul, Entrepreneur

and Iconic Rap Producer Andre “Dr. Dre” Young was the headway to him

becoming Young’s right hand man.

King, one of the founding members of Death Row Records, remained with

the company for nearly a decade. Which lead to him becoming

instrumental in developing some of the artists and concepts that helped

West Coast rap gain its notoriety?

After a brief hiatus, BJ began his most prized endeavor to date which was

the launch of The Cure Entertainment company, which has since been

renamed The Cure Network, in addition to working as a consultant for

three of the more notable record labels in the United States.

In 2011 BJ began his venture into the television and film industry after

discovering, while in the music industry, that he had an uncanny knack for

storytelling and an unsurpassed vision for movies and films.

His first debut is a short feature film entitled “Pull”, which is based on a

true story and tells the tale of his own son. The story takes place in Los

Angeles and chronicles the life events of a father who was well connected,

respected and loved within his community, and his son who is being kept

alive by the “Pull” of his father after being accused of a horrendous crime.

BJ King believes that it is his responsibility to tell the stories that other

filmmakers have not told. He plans to bridge the gap between the film

and music industry and produce new talent while inspiring others to

realize that “success and all of the things you desire are not out of reach”.

BJ King and The Cure Network intends to leave a huge legacy, and solidify a mark in the entertainment industry, fulfilling his life’s purpose by blazing through uncharted territories. Brace Yourself!!

Director Biography

Danielle L. Ross

Danielle L. Ross is a Pasadena, CA native. Outside of her dreams of wanting to become an

Astronaut, she has always loved the cinema and after an impressive five feature films, her love

still remains. Danielle paid her dues as a PA on a number of big budget studio films and

television shows which left her wanting more. Danielle's desire to create lead her to decide

early in her career to take the independent route. In 2001 she opted to launch Southern Peach

Entertainment along with her mother and business partner Stephanie Cunningham. Together in

2003 they produced and financed the short film "Hindsight" which later on became the feature

film "Voyeur In Hindsight". Danielle credits a willing group of young artists, determination, and

the "school of hard knocks" for her ability to achieve the seemingly impossible. In 2005,

Danielle added the credit of Award-Winning Producer to her list of accomplishments with the

success of the comedy feature "Ganked". Her first two directorial debuts, "He Who Finds A

Wife" and "Voyeur In Hindsight", screened at the prestigious Pan African Film & Arts Festival in

Los Angeles to sold out audiences in 2007. As a result, in 2010 she took on the challenge of

producing the sequel to the fan favorite, "He Who Finds a Wife 2: Thou Shall Not Covet". In

2011 she produced the action short film "Pull", and completed her fifth feature film, the

romantic comedy "Back Then" which she wrote, directed, and produced about growing up in

her hometown of Pasadena.
