    SANTA MONICA, Calif. --

    Nomad Editing Company has brought editor Conor O’Neill aboard as its newest partner. O’Neill will join fellow U.S.-based partners Jennifer Lederman, Glenn Martin, Jai Shukla, Jim Ulbrich, Amanda Moreau, Jared Coller, Adam Schwartz, and recent addition Brandon Porter as they pave the way for the future of the company. Prior to joining Nomad, O’Neill had most recently been at EXILE.

    O’Neill’s work encompasses a wide array of projects ranging from commercials to feature and documentary films and beyond. Following a degree from Vassar College, he spent time in the art departments of various commercial and music video production companies until editing his first documentary feature, Word Wars, which premiered at Sundance, got a theatrical release, and eventually received a News & Documentary Emmy nomination.

    Since then, O’Neill has cut several Academy Award-nominated films including Foxcatcher (along with editors Jay Cassidy and Stuart Levy) and Moneyball (with editor Christopher Tellefsen). O’Neill is also no stranger to the documentary game, editing Air Guitar Nation (with editor Clark Andrew Vogeler), a documentary detailing the world championships of air guitar, the HBO Rolling Stones documentary Crossfire Hurricane, which was nominated for four primetime Emmys including Best Documentary and Best Picture Editing (for editors O’Neill and Levy), and Eric Bana’s directorial debut Love the Beast. Other notable projects include Henry-Alex Rubin’s Murderball (with editor Geoffrey Richman), also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary.

    As a partner, O’Neill is most looking forward to expanding Nomad’s commercial editing footprint in Los Angeles, as well as helping to develop new creative avenues for Nomad’s production and post offerings. “The world of content creation is a rapidly changing one,” he continued, “and along with my fellow partners, I hope to help guide Nomad in a direction that sets the company up for further success in this changing landscape and allows us to continue to thrive for years to come.”

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
