    CULVER CITY, Calif. --

    Production house Superprime has added writing and directing duo Hannah & Adriana to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S.

    Hannah Levy and Adriana Robles have written and directed comedic shorts for Comedy Central, Funny or Die and Saturday Night Live (SNL). This past fall, Hannah & Adriana joined SNL for its 44th season as the show’s first female directing team. Their first segment for the show, “A New Kyle,” aired during the season premiere and starred Kyle Mooney and Pete Davidson. Recently, the duo directed “Fashion Coward,” a hilarious skit with Emma Stone, Aidy Bryant, and Kate McKinnon shopping for clothes at a satirical store for people “who hate shopping and feel lost and scared.”

    Levy and Robles met at The Onion and began collaborating as editors for Funny or Die. As contributors at Funny or Die, the duo created hits such as “They Finally Made a Handmaid’s Tale for Men,” “Tampax Titanium” with Jillian Michaels, and “Love Ballad to Your Therapist” with Kristen Bell. Hannah & Adriana were recently selected to direct “Frances 2.0,” one of six short films funded by Paul Feig and Laura Fischer’s new Powderkeg: Fuse incubator initiative, which will champion the work of women filmmakers with a slate of original shorts.

    Michelle Ross, Superprime managing director, described Levy and Robles as “funny and creative women” who are “amazing comedic talents and a great addition to our roster.”

    Robles related, “At SNL we have worked with incredible talent and learned that no creative vision is impossible. We know that Superprime is the perfect partner for us to bring that sketch comedy experience to the commercial world.”

    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
