    NEW YORK --

    Editorial, finishing and VFX studio Uppercut has added Cayce Cole as executive producer in the recently launched Los Angeles office and Dez Macleod-Veilleux as sr. EP in the flagship New York studio. 

    Macleod-Veilleux began his career in Sydney, Australia at visual effects companies Cutting Edge and the Oscar-winning Animal Logic. Upon his arrival in the U.S., he landed at The Mill NY as an EP before moving to MPC, where he was instrumental in building out its NY and Mexico City offices as head of production. Macleod-Veilleux has since served as sr. EP at Framestore, overseeing business development for its NY operation, and most recently, as director of production at The Mill, where he was responsible for overseeing business development and strategy for its NY office. Throughout his career, Macleod-Veilleux has developed strong relationships with various agencies including Wieden+Kennedy, VMLY&R, Grey/Townhouse, Arts & Letters, The Martin Agency, and BBDO; with major brands including Apple, DoorDash, Spotify, Meta, Dell, AT&T, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Mercedes, Maybelline, and Ford; and with directors such as Nicolai Fuglsig, Rupert Sanders and Filip Engstrom.

    Cole started in production at Mars Media with director Sam Bayer before joining The Directors Bureau, a then-young production company started by Mike Mills and Roman Coppola. Cole quickly moved up the ranks from office manager to music video rep to EP, spending the subsequent decade overseeing projects for Mills and Coppola, along with Sofia and Gia Coppola, Romain Gavras, Melodie McDaniel, Patrick Daughters, Spike Jones, and others. Cole has since worked with Epoch Films; as an EP for artist and director Kahlil Joseph on work for Kenzo, Sampha, Apple, and BLK NWS; and as managing EP for Even/Odd, an award- winning minority and immigrant-owned creative studio and production company. Cole has produced work across commercials, music videos, short films, fashion films, PSAs, animation, and live television. 

    Uppercut maintains studios in NY, Los Angeles and Atlanta.

    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
