    LONDON --

    Director Dan DiFelice, who’s been repped by Biscuit Filmworks since 2016 for spots and branded content in the U.S., has now joined the company’s U.K. roster.

    DiFelice thus gains continuity in representation via Biscuit on both sides of the Atlantic. He had been previously handled in the U.K. by Pulse Films.

    A self-taught filmmaker, DiFelice learned the crafts of motion graphics, visual effects, design, and editing early on in order to get his own ambitious short film projects off the ground – including Finished, The Great Unknown, and Anomaly (co-directed with Salomon Ligthelm) which was named a Vimeo Staff Pick. DiFelice’s most recent commercial campaigns include work for Volvo, Nike, Audi, Reebok, Ubisoft, Jordan, FOX Sports, and BMW; he was also selected for the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase at Cannes in 2016 for his short film Carved in Mayhem, and then earned a slot in SHOOT’s New Directors Showcase in 2017.

    Rupert Reynolds-MacLean, managing director at Biscuit UK, said, “Dan’s background in VFX and his elegant, beautiful storytelling sets him apart as an original voice in the market.”

    Biscuit Filmworks is an international commercial production company founded in 2000 by managing director Shawn Lacy and director Noam Murro. Directors on the Biscuit roster include Murro, DiFelice, Aaron Stoller, Andreas Nilsson, Big Red Button, Christopher Riggert, Clay Weiner, Daniel Warwick, Errol Morris, The Glue Society, Isaiah Seret, Jeff Low, Joaquin & Lalou, Justin Kurzel, Matt Devine, Michael Downing, Molly Manners, Olof Lindh, Rachel McDonald, and Steve Rogers.

    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
