    LOS ANGELES & LONDON --

    Director and DP duo MOM have signed with the Ridley Scott Creative Group’s Black Dog Films for representation in the U.S. and U.K. spanning commercials, branded content and music videos. This marks their first U.S. representation. 

    MOM tell socially relevant stories with a contemporary lens, allowing the viewer to see the world through a cohesive and unique perspective. The artistic partnership of Skokomish Yakama artist Ray and cinematographer Matt was formed in 2019 with a holistic view to directing and cinematography. The multi-disciplinary L.A.-based duo have since created music videos for the likes of Krewella, Marzz and Adekunle Gold, and commercial, fashion and social campaigns for the Monroy x Hernan Herdez collaboration launch, eyewear brand Barton Perreira, and most recently Hennessy.

    Working with RSA Films’ director Neels Castillon, and photographer Viviane Sassen in a full 360° campaign for Hennessy Paradis, MOM utilized their experimental, textured style to create a series of social films, collages and stills. MOM’s work as the social media unit mirrored the campaign’s approach to shooting stars Alicia Keys and Lang Lang, reflecting the intricate elegance of Hennessy’s craft blending music, poetry and nature. 

    “We feel incredibly honored to have had the opportunity to work with legends like Alicia Keys and Lang Lang alongside Neels and Viviane,” shared MOM in a joint statement. “It says a lot about a company when they collaborate with creative agencies and production companies like RSA and GoodPeopleWander, that genuinely support artists and their visions. Since our first meeting with RSA and Black Dog we have felt so supported. We have only ever dreamed of these opportunities in an industry filled with such gatekeeping. Our RSA and Black Dog teams already feel like family and have backed us since day one. There is no other family we would rather be a part of. We look forward to the adventures 2023 brings us.” 

    “We love working with director and DP duo MOM!,” said Molly Bohas, U.S. EP, Black Dog Films. “They define creative partnership and bring the ultimate dynamism to set. Their attention is always on craft, combining technical and storytelling skills, a distinctive style and efficiency as they work out every detail together. They bring out the best in the talent and crew around them, opening consciousness even, creating more space and a positive flow for the process to unfold. Just another example of their creative prowess and why we enjoy working with them so much!”

    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
