Danielle L. Ross, a Pasadena, California native, has always been captivated by the allure of the cinema and the vastness of space, as she has long aspired to become an astronaut. Prior to pursuing her dreams, she honed her skills as a production assistant on numerous big-budget studio films and television shows, only to realize that her true calling lay in the realm of independent filmmaking. In 2001, Danielle decided to take the leap and co-found Southern Peach Entertainment alongside her mother and business partner, Stephanie Cunningham. Together, they produced and financed the short film "Hindsight," which later evolved into the feature film "Voyeur In Hindsight."

In 2005, her hard work paid off as she earned the distinction of Award-Winning Producer with the success of the comedy feature "Ganked." Her first two directorial debuts, "He Who Finds A Wife" and "Voyeur In Hindsight," premiered at the prestigious Pan African Film & Arts Festival in Los Angeles to sold-out audiences in 2007. Building upon her success, Danielle took on the challenge of producing the sequel to the fan favorite, "He Who Finds a Wife 2: Thou Shall Not Covet," in 2010.
In 2011, she produced the action-packed short film "Pull" and completed her fifth feature film, the romantic comedy "Back Then," which she wrote, directed, and produced. This cinematic masterpiece serves as a poignant exploration of growing up in her hometown of Pasadena, a theme that is deeply personal to Danielle. With each new project, Danielle L.
