    LOS ANGELES --

    Tony Dustin has joined the Deluxe Post Production creative team as sr. colorist, working from the EFILM and Encore post facilities in Hollywood. With more than 20 years of experience in color grading, Dustin’s work spans styles and genres, with a talent for revealing details in the darker palettes of many of his projects. Dustin’s notable credits include Netflix dramatic series Sense8, for which he was nominated for an HPA Award; Hulu horror series Castle Rock; Best Picture Academy Award nominee Silver Linings Playbook, directed by David O. Russell; and Gran Torino, directed by Clint Eastwood.

    “Tony has a seasoned eye and a unique combination of skill and speed,” said Chris Holt, EVP global operations for Deluxe Post Production.

    “Deluxe has a stellar reputation in the post industry, not only for their colorists’ talent but also their state-of-the-art facilities and how they take care of their clients,” noted Dustin. “I have great confidence in EFILM’s leadership and look forward to forging an exciting new chapter in this fantastic environment.”

    Dustin’s first project for EFILM is biographical drama Harriet, working with Oscar-winning cinematographer John Toll, whom Dustin previously collaborated with on Sense8. Dustin comes to EFILM from Technicolor, where he spent nearly 17 years perfecting his craft; he’s also held various color-centric roles at Westwind Media and EFILM sister company Encore. Dustin got his start in postproduction by happenstance, discovering the color grading process through his work in the vault at Editel while attending college. Having spent many hours developing negatives in a photo lab as a youth, Dustin has a well-honed eye and deep appreciation for cinematic visuals.

    Apple and Google Face UK Investigation Into Mobile Browser Dominance

    The Competition and Markets Authority took aim at Apple, saying the iPhone maker's tactics hold back innovation by stopping rivals from giving users new features like faster webpage loading. Apple does this by restricting progressive web apps, which don't need to be downloaded from an app store and aren't subject to app store commissions, the report said.

    "This technology is not able to fully take off on iOS devices," the watchdog said in a provisional report on its investigation into mobile browsers that it opened after an initial study concluded that Apple and Google effectively have a chokehold on "mobile ecosystems."

    The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."

    And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.

    Both companies said they will "engage constructively" with the CMA.

    Apple said it disagreed with the findings and said it was concerned that the recommendations would undermine user privacy and security.

    Google said the openness of its Android mobile operating system "has helped to expand choice, reduce prices and democratize access to smartphones and apps" and that it's "committed to open platforms that empower consumers."

    It's the latest move by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic to crack down on the... Read More
