    Rania Hattar joins as exec producer

    LOS ANGELES --

    Integrated production house ACNE has upped Line Postmyr to CEO/executive producer to lead the North American office. He previously held the title of managing director/EP. The promotion comes in tandem with the hiring of EP Rania Hattar who comes over after a stint as EP at Little Minx.

    Postmyr has produced lauded campaigns throughout her career, having collaborated with directors such as Fredrik Bond, Tony Kaye, Spike Jonze, Mark Romanek and Bruno Aveillan. She’s held top posts, most notably as the former managing director at HELLO!, and has produced for other leading companies including MJZ, Smuggler, Anonymous Content, RSA and Sonny London.

    Postmyr has substantial film experience outside of advertising, having produced shorts, features, and documentaries for such filmmakers as Gore Verbinski, Mario Van Peebles, Neil Abramson and Danny Boyle. In the music space, she has produced videos for iconic artists such as Madonna, Nirvana, Tina Turner, Lou Reed, Massive Attack, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy Pop, and Björk.

    The evolution of Hattar’s career in L.A. after producing features, commercials, music videos and stills in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East reflects her ability to facilitate all facets of the production process. She cut her teeth working alongside the EPs at MJZ, guiding projects from pre-production to final delivery for 14 directors out of a roster of 23, including Bond, Michael Mann, and Nicolai Fuglsig.

    Postmyr and Hattar duo will spearhead the new Southern California office of the Scandinavian-born company, which moves from Venice Beach to the historic Kim Sing Theatre in the Chinatown district of downtown L.A. in August 2015. A former vaudeville theatre from 1926, the Kim Sing Theatre is now an integrated live/work/event space with a retail storefront and restaurant license.

    ACNE also maintains offices in Stockholm, London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam.

    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
