    LOS ANGELES --

    Director and visual artist Andrew Thomas Huang has joined production company Serial Pictures for North American representation spanning commercials, branded entertainment, and music videos. 

    Huang has worked extensively with Icelandic artist Bjork, as well as Thom Yorke, Perfume Genius, and British director Joe Wright, among others, and has helmed commercials for global brands such as Lexus and Samsung. Huang’s most recent project, the emotionally evocative music video for “Cellophane” by FKA twigs, taps into his overarching theme of body-identity and its transient nature, while showcasing the director’s narrative-driven world-building.

    Huang–who was most recently at production house Strangelove prior to joining Serial Pictures–is known for his experimental mix of live-action and animation techniques, yielding storytelling that transports viewers on metaphorical, immersive journeys. After receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California, Huang kickstarted his career with a series of short films including Solipsist, which was selected for the 2012 Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase and was awarded a Special Jury Prize for Experimental Short at Slamdance earlier that same year. His newest short, Kiss of the Rabbit God, recently made its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. 

    Huang is a Cinereach Fellow, a recent fellow in Film Independent’s Directors Lab, and a recipient of the K Period Media Fellowship grant. His film and video work have been exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, NYC; MoMA PS1; The Barbican Centre, London; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Huang carries on his visual aesthetic as he continues his foray into narrative feature films.

    “Andrew’s approach to film making is daring, innovative, and captures your imagination. He has the rare talent to create work that makes you dream yet it lets you feel connected to a visceral reality,” said Serial Pictures’ founding partner Violaine Etienne. 

    Huang said of Serial Pictures, “Their commitment to high-caliber, artist-driven work is inspiring, and I’m honored to join their roster of amazing talent.” 

    A joint venture with Anonymous Content, Serial Pictures is headquartered in New York and Los Angeles, with a global network of partners throughout Europe.

    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
