    LOS ANGELES --

    SixTwentySix has added director Jonathan Salmon to its roster for commercial, music video, and long-form work.  This marks the young filmmaker’s first formal representation in the U.S.

    Born and bred in Seattle, Salmon is a self-taught talent who discovered an affinity and gift for art and film in his early 20s during a project collaboration with a friend before ultimately relocating to Los Angeles to actively pursue his filmmaking career.

    Salmon has a shooting style that exhibits a passionate desire to support the truth and its community in any film he creates.  His main goal with any piece he directs is always steadfastly aiming to keep every performance authentic to the material, pushing the narrative with “life forward” as the forefront mantra in his craft. This approach is the cornerstone for films and commercials that Salmon has done for the likes of Venus Williams, Lacoste, Apple Music, Amazon, Highsnobiety, Beats By Dre, On Running and Lexus. 

    Salmon has also directed assorted music-driven projects including the campaign for the NFT-inspired app S!ng, NPR’s Tiny Desk concert featuring DUCKWRTH, and multiple music videos for Vince Staples, Tove Lo, and others.

    As for what drew him to the SixTwentySix team, Salmon shared, “It’s so simple–I like them, they like me, we like each other. It’s fun, great, amazing, and quite frankly–I just love them–there’s not much more to it than that!”

    Jake Krask, SixTwentySix co-founder and managing director, said, “We’re very honored to have Jonathan join our SixTwentySix family. We are greatly looking forward to working with him and championing his already impressive filmmaking career.”

    Added Austin Barbera, SixTwentySix co-founder and executive producer, “We’ve had the immense pleasure to work with and support the careers of talented new filmmakers, and are elated to represent Jonathan. He is an exceptional talent whose storytelling conveys a raw and relatable authenticity that emboldens and inspires audiences.”

    In his short career, Salmon’s rise has been steady and rapid. Most recently, Salmon has directed four music videos for comedian, rapper, and actor Zack Fox’s new extended play (EP) record “Wood Tip.”  Upcoming, Salmon has collaborated with Fox (a cast member of the Emmy Award-winning Abbott Elementary) on Bizarro World, a comedic, surreal, and sometimes dramatic six-part short film series with several unrelated, absurd, and quick stories. In addition to Fox, Bizarro World stars Jak Knight (HBO Max’s Pause with Sam Jay, Peacock’s Bust Down), Mekki Leeper (HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls, Comedy Central’s Control Room), and Kate Hollowell (Katy Perry: Champagne Problems).

    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
