Qluso (aka
David Lindley) is known in his neighborhood as “Pops”. He works with rap artist
AV to carve out a career in the music industry. Qluso’s wife Maureen is known
as “Mom” around the ‘hood, and in addition to their five children, they are
host to an extended family of rap artists, their teen daughters girlfriends,
college kids, un-wed mothers, high school dropouts and just about anyone else
in their neighborhood who needs a place to hang out without the risk of getting
shot. With a recording studio in his backyard, and a tattoo parlor adjacent to
it, Qluso’s house is a magnet for the next generation of hip hop culture.
Working with artists like Snoop Dogg and music producers like Battle Cat, Qluso’s
success seems like it’s right around the corner...but it’s never as simple as
it seems on the Southside of the City of Angels.
“Qluso’s Grind” is a reality
show that breaks the mold, showing that instead of the fantasy world of “The
Housewives of...”, or the wealth of “Family Jewels”, or the ostentation of “MTV
Cribs”, that actual “reality” can be surprisingly entertaining, proving once
again that truth is stranger than fiction. Qluso’s world is a constant juggling
act between being a father, husband, music producer, artist manager, chauffeur,
referee, lover, fighter, mechanic, role model, friend and, well you get the
idea, there is never a dull moment when the cameras are rolling. “Qluso’s Grind”
is true unscripted TV as its rawest and finest, the realest reality show.

World War
II is finally over, and America is in a scramble to eradicate the horrible
memory of the past four years.
Millions of servicemen are returning home to a world far different than the one
they left; yet, there is an unspoken acknowledgement that a fundamental change
has occurred. Past relationships have changed, societal barriers have crumbled
and the world is both a better and worse place. As America struggles to regain its’
sense of normalcy, the beginning of the civil rights movement began to take
root, not through signs, rallies or speeches but through one of the most
unlikely places; Baseball.

Meet the
Johnson’s. They are your typical middle class
family. For the past eight years they have
lived the good life of the upper class. They have a wonderful two-story
house in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a pool, a Motor Home, Jet Ski’s, not one,
but two brand new cars and ALL THE CREDIT THEY COULD WANT…. until… DIRECTIONAL ENTERTAINMENT, LLC is proud to present the first
installation in our proverbs faith based series titled THE
UPSIDE. In
this warm hearted comic story, Gregory Johnson was doing what he thought was
right in providing for his family, giving them things that maybe they couldn’t
afford. Tammy Johnson wanted to keep up
with her friends by driving great cars, putting her kids in the best schools
and having the best nails in town. They are obviously living far
beyond their means. With a promising career, Greg
looks forward to paying any debt with his, until now, frequent promotions at
work, and life is good until a little thing called “Recession,” rocks their
world. Instead of a promotion, Greg gets
demoted in his job and is forced to take a big pay cut. Within six months the Johnson’s have lost their home
and virtually all of their earthly positions except for the clothes on their
back. Not having anywhere else to turn,
and with the economy continuing to nosedive, Tammy calls her long lost Auntie
June for help. Auntie June offers her and her
family a place to stay for a couple of months, so that they can transition
their lives. Greg, who’s never met Tammy’s
Auntie June, doesn’t realize until they are almost to her house that she does
not live in suburbia, but in Urban America; Greg’s not in Kansas anymore.
