    LOS ANGELES --

    The Bigger Picture has added director/writer Gary Shore to its roster. Shore’s body of work spans short-form branded content and feature films. Shore’s credits include projects for Adidas, Guinness, Jaguar, Gatorade, Samsung and Nissan, and his box-office-topping first feature, Dracula Untold (Universal Pictures). Before joining The Bigger Picture, he was represented in the U.S. via Knucklehead, which continues to handle him for spots and branded content in the U.K. 

    Tracy Mays, founder of the L.A.-based The Bigger Picture, said, “Gary is a visionary talent whose work speaks to human moments though expansive visual storytelling and sometimes offbeat humor–or big stories in small, weird places, as he likes to call it. Because of his vast knowledge in visual language, he has the ability to enter the creative conversation from many different angles. And just like The Bigger Picture, he’s constantly looking for opportunities in cutting edge content.”

    Hailing from Dublin, Shore studied filmmaking at Ireland’s GMIT and IADT, before turning to painting at Central Saint Martins in London. Uniting these experiences, Shore carved out a career as a director,infusing brand-driven films and commercials with emotional and sensory impact. His efforts twice earned him a nomination for a Cannes Young Directors Award and numerous industry doffs of proverbial caps.

    Shore’s Dracula Untold grossed $240 million at the worldwide box office, was number one in 32 countries, and won the prestigious Saturn Award for Best Horror in 2014. Shore’s next film will be a horror set on the Queen Mary ship in Long Beach, Calif., which will shoot later this year.

    “What appeals to me about working with Tracy and The Bigger Picture is her devil-may-care approach to tradition,” Shore said. “Just because a commercial is likely to be viewed on a small screen, with everything else, doesn’t mean it needs to look like everything else–or that standards should drop. The opportunities to tell stories with new platforms is surpassed only by the need to invent a new visual grammar to experience them.”

    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
