Press Play is a Christian pop/rock band formed by worship leader Dave Hanley in 2008. They are known internationally and have worked with some of the biggest names in the Christian industry including Darlene Zschech, Group 1 Crew, Rachael Lampa, Israel Houghton, Britt Nicole, Mary Mary, and have also performed with the likes of JoJo and Katy Perry. The lead singers of the band include Dave Hanley, Nicole Croteau and Jonathan Thulin. They are the former worship team for the Los Angeles Dream Center, the church where the band also was formed. Press Play is now traveling full time around the world. They are currently signed to Dream Records with distribution through EMI Christian Music Group. They have released four albums to date: Life Is Beautiful (2009), NY2LA (2010), World Anthem (2011), and #LITO (2013).

Dave Hanley, while leading worship at the Dream Center's Angelus Temple, had a vision to create relevant worship that would reach not only within Christian walls but outside into the community. In the earlier years before the name "Press Play" was born the team went under the name Dream House. There they began to create a new sound that peaked loads of interest in the L.A area. After a few Dream House albums had been released the band began to go by the name "Press Play" and in 2008 they caught the eye of Universal Record's A&R Executive Rhoda Lawrence, she signed them immediately after hearing them. Dave then started a new record label called Dream Records which became an imprint of Universal.

Press Play's first major release was Life is Beautiful which featured the then lead female vocalist Paige Adkins, who is the daughter of famous comedian Sinbad. The album also featured guest vocals from renowned worship leader Darlene Zschech of Hillsong. Upon the band's debut release through its new partnership with Universal Records, Press Play enjoyed a ride to the top when its record, Life Is Beautiful shot to No. 2 on Billboard's Christian chart and went to No. 45 on the Billboard Top 200 mainstream chart. Press Play was suddenly in the national spotlight performing on NBC's TODAY Show, meeting with ABC, appearing on FOX News and with features in national newspapers, magazines and on numerous national TV outlets. Press Play also worked with known producer Rodney Jerkins aka Darkchild at the time.

With all the phenomenal success and recognition coming Press Play's way, they quickly began work on a new album that would release only a year after their first release. For the new album, Paige Adkins was replaced by a new female lead Sada K. Jackson. They dubbed the new album NY2LA which stood for "New York to L.A." The album reached No. 3 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart, moving slightly down from its predecessor. The first single released from the album was the same title as the album, "NY2LA". which featured guest rapper Tyler James Williams from Everybody Hates Chris. The single had tremendous success on Christian CHR peaking at No. 20, specifically gaining loads of recognition on Christian CHR station Air1. Air1 released the music video for "NY2LA" and it quickly went viral now having close to 400,000 views.

In Late 2010, Press Play decided to part ways with the Dream Center and head out on the road full time. Majority of the band stayed behind to continue leading worship which led to almost an entirely new band, though Dave and Sada stayed intact. Drummer Mike Adams and singer/keyboard player Jonathan Thulin joined right away. Jonathan was travelling as a solo artist at the time and became signed to Dream as one shortly after joining the group. His album The Anatomy of a Heartflow was released on September 13, 2011. After a bit of a hiatus, Press Play went out on a 6 week spring tour with openers Rachael Lampa, Charmaine and Ryan Stevenson (singer). Singing in churches around the US, Press Play once again became inspired to start writing a new album. In the end of May the team began to work on a new album called World Anthem . The whole album was written and recorded in 11 days with the whole team contributing, including David Thulin, who created majority of the beats and sequencing on the album. He is also the brother of Jonathan Thulin. On the new album, Press Play went for a bit of a new sound by adding Jonathan as another one of the lead vocalists. Now there were three very different voices coming together to create one defined dance sound.

Press Play is currently serving at New Hope West Coast in Simi Valley, California. Where three new band members, bass player Sean Cook, vocalist Nicole Croteau, and lead guitar Michael Baja were added.

CLARA RUGAARD

Clara plays the leading role in THE RISING, a new series for SKY, which will air this March. She played the leading role opposite Hilary Swank in the sci-fi thriller, I AM MOTHER, which premiered to great reviews at Sundance 2019 and was released by Netflix to huge viewing numbers (it was the most-watched feature in the UK on Netflix that year).

Clara is the lead of the Roderigo Cortes film, LOVE GETS A ROOM, inspired by the real musical that was originally performed in a Warszaw Ghetto in 1942.

She played Roxy opposite Elle Fanning in TEEN SPIRIT, writer/directed by Max Minghella, with Fred Berger producing for Automatik. She was Juliet in Shonda Rimes ‘STAR CROSSED’ for ABC and she played the lead role in Rebecca Daly’s ‘GOOD FAVOUR’ which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2018.

She also just worked on a Danish television project, directed by Lone Scherfig, and also has PRESS PLAY due for release.

Clara is also an incredible singer, and revoiced MOANA for the Danish version of the movie and sang “Tattooed Heart” in TEEN SPIRIT.

LEWIS PULLMAN

Lewis Pullman has established himself as an actor on the rise with his extremely unique talent and ability to inhabit the most diverse roles.

It was recently announced that Pullman will star opposite Kathy Bates and John Malkovich in Ken Kwapis’ THELMA. The film recounts the true story of the mother of John Kennedy Toole (Pullman), the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Confederacy of Dunces. Toole died by suicide before finding a home for his masterpiece, and his mother Thelma (Bates) made it her life’s mission, through outrageous gamesmanship, to see the book published. She eventually succeeded in getting the manuscript into the hands of writer Walker Percy (Malkovich), who became the novel’s champion.

Up next, Pullman will be seen in Amazon’s highly anticipated series, OUTER RANGE starring opposite Josh Brolin. OUTER RANGE centers on Royal Abbott (Brolin), a rancher fighting for his land and family, who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness. Pullman is set to take on the role of Rhett Abbott, the family’s younger, more rebellious son. The show will debut in April 2022.

He will then be seen in Paramount’s highly anticipated sequel Top Gun: Maverick opposite Tom Cruise. Pullman plays a Navy fighter pilot named Bob who is being mentored by Tom Cruise’s “Maverick” in the highly anticipated sequel. The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, also stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, and Ed Harris will be released during Memorial Day Weekend 2022.  

Lastly, he will be starring as author Ben Mears in New Line’s adaptation of the Stephen King thriller SALEM’S LOT. Mears (Pullman) returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem’s Lot in search of inspiration for his next book only to discover his hometown is being preyed upon by a vampire, leading him to band together a ragtag group that will fight the evil presence.  The film, directed by Gary Dauberman and produced by James Wan, will be released in September 2022. 

Pullman starred alongside Jessica Barden in PINK SKIES AHEAD. The film was best-selling author Kelly Oxford’s feature film directorial debut. The film followed the life of an unraveling wild young woman after she drops out of college, moves in with her parents, and is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. The film premiered at the 2020 AFI Festival and was recently acquired by MTV Studios. Pullman also starred in George Clooney’s Hulu mini-series, CATCH-22 as Major Major alongside Christopher Abbott. 

In 2019, Pullman starred in the Sundance favorite, THEM THAT FOLLOW opposite Walton Goggins, Olivia Colman, and Kaitlyn Dever. In 2018, he played the scene-stealing hotel manager, Miles Miller, in Drew Goddard’s BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE opposite Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, and Dakota Johnson. He also starred in the sequel to the cult classic horror film, THE STRANGERS, with Christina Hendricks and Bailee Madison.

LYRICA OKANO

Lyrica Okano is a Japanese-American actress best known for starring as “Nico Minoru” on Hulu’s MARVEL’S RUNAWAYS, the teen-oriented comic book series from creators Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz (THE OC).

Lyrica will next be seen in the feature film PRESS PLAY from writer-director Greg Björkman and producers CJ Entertainment, in which she stars alongside Danny Glover, Clara Rugaard, and Lewis Pullman. Last year, she shot a short film in which she starred opposite Margaret Cho called KOREATOWN GHOST STORY. The short will soon make the festival circuit rounds as an official selection at Grimmfest, PanicFest, and CAAMFest to name just a few.

Her additional TV credits include a recurring role on Showtime's hit series THE AFFAIR, MAGNUM P.I., UNFORGETTABLE, THE MICHAEL J. FOX SHOW, and most recently, an episode of CHICAGO PD that will air later this year.

Lyrica is also an extremely talented athlete and dancer. In addition to having a black belt in Karate and being proficient at kickboxing, Lyrica was also a competitive pre-Olympic gymnast who specialized in lyrical gymnastics – especially the lyric ball event.

CHRISTINA CHANG

Christina Chang has had many notable roles on hit series throughout her career. She currently stars in last fall’s No. 1 new drama series “The Good Doctor,” created by David Shore. Chang was a recurring character in the first season and was promoted to a series regular for Season 2. She stars as Dr. Audrey Lim, who has emerged as a formidable counterpart to Dr. Neil Melendez (Nicholas Gonzalez), with the duo often splitting up the growing group of residents between them. The highly anticipated show will return to ABC this fall for a third season. 

Chang was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, by her Chinese Filipino father and American mother. At age 17, she moved to the United States to study theater and film in her mother’s home state of Kansas and later studied acting in Seattle, Washington. Chang went on to gain a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Washington in Seattle. From there, she progressed to the off-Broadway production of Tina Landau’s “The Trojan Women.”

She has recurred and guested on many well-known television series, including “Nashville,” “Desperate Housewives,” “24” and “Rizzoli & Isles.” Additionally, she appeared in the feature films “Random Hearts,” “28 Days,” “Deadline” and “Girls Club.”

Chang’s other interests include working with children, following in the footsteps of her mother who was a school counselor. She also speaks Mandarin Chinese.

Two-time Emmy-nominated actor Matt Walsh starred in HBO’s award-winning comedy series Veep as Mike McLintock, the sharp-witted, deadpan Director of Communications to the first female U.S. Vice President, Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). He can currently be heard opposite Kevin Bacon on the scripted comedy podcast “The Last Degree of Kevin Bacon,” which is currently releasing on Spotify. Walsh is a founding member of the famed national improv-sketch comedy theatre Upright Citizens Brigade, which has schools and venues in New York and Los Angeles. UCB is the largest unaccredited university in the nation teaching improv performance and sketch writing techniques.

Walsh was recently seen in Orchard Films’ Under the Eiffel Tower by Orchard films, which premiered in February 2019. In Eiffel, Walsh starred as a romantic leading man. He served as a producer and writer on the film as well. He was also recently seen in the Steve McQueen film Widows starring Viola Davis and the 2019 short, Little Victories for which he received a Best Actor award from the Hollywood Reel Independent Festival.

In addition to his film and TV work, Walsh is a charitable founder of Gender Nation, an organization that empowers children through access to stories that demonstrate all genders and sexualities. He also co-founded with his father and brothers the Turkey Bird Classic, a yearly golf charity event that raises money for Defy Ventures. The emphasis of each is to help those who have been incarcerated to learn skills and craft for a second chance at life.

Walsh resides in Los Angeles with his wife Morgan Walsh and their three children.

DANNY GLOVER

Actor, producer and humanitarian Danny Glover has been a commanding presence on screen, stage and television for more than 30 years.

GREG BJÖRKMAN

Writer & Director

Greg Björkman is a writer/director originally from the Chicago suburbs. Prior to starting his film journey, he went to school for Physical Therapy. However, after taking a required writing course and receiving positive feedback, he moved towards media as a major. In 2008, his shift to media put him on the front line of the Iowa caucuses as he worked for an NPR affiliate radio station on the border of Iowa. Studying the positive and negative effects of the media’s power, Björkman decided to pursue film at the end of his sophomore year. He transferred schools to The Peck School of the Arts in Milwaukee and worked at the local CBS television station as a camera operator during his time there. After two years of developing editing and visual effects skillsets, he moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to begin his career in the film industry. Starting in music videos and television as a Production Assistant, Björkman crossed the threshold into post-production on features. While working in editorial as an assistant editor and VFX compositor on films such as Stuck in Love (2012) and The Fault in Our Stars (2014), he began to write on the side, honing his storytelling skills. Integrating his emotional storytelling and visual effects knowledge from his editorial background, Björkman co-wrote and makes his directorial debut with PRESS PLAY.

Björkman’s influences in film include Steven Spielberg, Steven Soderbergh, Frank Capra, Sergio Leone, and Joe & Anthony Russo.

PRESS PLAY is about expectations and control and how hard it is to let go of them. When I set out to make the film, I wanted to create something that would both entertain and teach the audience the importance of letting go of expected outcomes. I've been through experiences in my own life that have brought me to the realization that you can't control what other people think or do. I've found it's a difficult realization to come to terms with, and it's a challenge to control that impulse to try and change their mind. I hope the film helps people realize that it's important to try and overcome that human instinct. If we expect control over everything in our lives, that path can lead us to unnecessary grief and suffering. We tend to set ourselves up for failure by expecting specific outcomes. The film was heavily inspired by someone very near and dear to me and who aided in my personal growth. In part, I made this film as a coping mechanism for subconsciously realizing I was slowly losing them and their familiarity. Grief is difficult. It's not something that can be resolved immediately, nor is it a problem to be solved at all. Everyone deals with grief differently, but the definitive hardship we all must face in this life is loss. Watching Laura in PRESS PLAY, we can see the denial and mental battle she experiences. Her reaction to loss is just as severe the second time as it was the first, even though she already knows and has time to prepare for the undesired, inevitable outcome, something many of us can relate to. I wouldn't have been able to make this film if it weren't for many people. Josh Boone shared the idea with me to shepherd into a script and a film. Alexandra Torinus, one of my professors, had so much confidence in me at such an early stage in my schooling when others didn't. Joan Darling taught me so much about patience. And the person I mentioned before who inspired me and helped me grow as a person. These people are among many who helped shape me and helped me grow as a person. I hope that this story and my future stories help others grow as well.
