    SANTA MONICA, Calif. --

    On the heels of opening its doors this fall, Santa Monica-based creative editing and VFX boutique Cabin Editing Company has brought on Sam Ostrove as partner/editor. He has won such honors as Cannes Lions, AICE Best In Show, AICP Show and Clios. 

    During his prior tenure at Cut + Run, Ostrove’s credits spanned multiple projects for Adidas, work for Volvo, Beats, the Grammys, Mercedes-Benz, NBA 2K and Converse, as well as music videos for Run the Jewels and Jay-Z/Damian Marley. Along the way, Ostrove has collaborated with renowned directors including Gustav Johannson, Brian Beletic, Karim Huu Do, Rohan Blair-Mangat and Stacy Wall.

    Ostrove said of his new roost, ““Cabin encourages creative collaboration on all projects and teaching our team everything we’ve all learned along the way, which in turn nurtures great talent. Personally, I would like to push myself into styles of filmmaking I am not as familiar with, learning that craft from the other editors who are masters of it. The prospect of that is very exciting.“

    Ostrove says that his musical background has greatly informed his editing craft, ever since he veered from life as a drummer back in his native England. “Rhythm and music was something I understood when I started to edit, and how they can be used to further tell your story as well as when, and when not to cut.”




    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    Apple and Google aren't giving consumers a genuine choice of mobile web browsers, a British watchdog said Friday in a report that recommends they face an investigation under new U.K. digital rules taking effect next year.

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
