    Director Douglas Keeve
    NEW YORK --

    Documentary/fashion/beauty director Douglas Keeve has joined The Artists Company for U.S. representation. He was formerly handled in the American ad market by Great Guns USA. Keeve continues to be repped internationally via Great Guns, London.

    Known for his feature films Unzipped and Hotel Gramercy Park, Keeve has recently been shooting internationally for Avon, Dove and J. Crew. His fashion and beauty acumen are reflected in both his long and short-form endeavors.

    Sally Antonacchio, owner/executive producer of The Artists Company, said, “The beauty of Douglas is that he gives us the ability to be more nimble in how we approach fashion production. Doug is a visionary in the genre and able to think about ways to multiply value of the spots our clients shoot. His unique process never sacrifices an ounce of creativity or polish in the execution of any branded story.”

    Unzipped, which followed noted high fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 1995 Sundance Film Festival, additionally earning a nomination for the fest’s Grand Jury Prize in Documentary Filmmaking.

    Hotel Gramercy Park, which tells the charming and compelling story of a hotel that is a NYC legend, won Best New Documentary, Special Jury Mention, at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival.

    Keeve is currently available for projects procured through the New York office of The Artists Company. He is repped by Carolyn Reps on the East Coast, Mary Saxon on the West Coast, Laure Scott for Los Angeles, and Perry Tongate in Texas and the Southwest.

    The justices heard arguments in November in Meta's bid to shut down the lawsuit. On Friday, they decided that they were wrong to take up the case in the first place.

    The high court dismissed the company's appeal, leaving in place an appellate ruling allowing the case to go forward.

    Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company was disappointed by the court's action. "The plaintiff's claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the District Court," Stone said in an emailed statement.

    Meta already has paid a $5.1 billion fine and reached a $725 million privacy settlement with users.

    Cambridge Analytica had ties to Trump political strategist Steve Bannon. It had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign.

    The lawsuit is one of two high court cases involving class-action lawsuits against tech companies. The justices also are wrestling with whether to shut down a class action against Nvidia.... Read More
