    Hungry Man has added filmmaker Iqbal Ahmed to its roster for worldwide representation spanning commercials, branded content and music videos.

    With a passion for finding humanity and authentic emotion in every project, Ahmed directs cinematic and emotional stories that straddle the line between the intimate and the epic. As a film, commercial, and music video director, Ahmed has seen his work receive over 300 million views, garner Vimeo Staff Picks, as well as get featured in NOWNESS, DAZED, Vice, Directors Notes, Booooooom, and The Atlantic. He boasts a list of clients and collaborators including Nike, Adidas, Google, Spotify, Pinterest, Facebook, H&M, Viacom, Snapchat, Microsoft, Nixon and Walmart. Prior to joining Hungry Man, Ahmed was most recently repped in the U.S. ad market by Rattling Stick.

    Caleb Dewart, managing partner at Hungry Man, said, “Iqbal’s depth as a filmmaker is what gets us excited. Telling honest stories with a cinematic eye is a true gift and Iqbal has it. His energy and enthusiasm are infectious and his relentlessness and intelligence are an inspiration. It’s one thing to light up a room with your energy. It’s another thing to light up a room and have something to say.”

    Ahmed said, “Signing with a legendary company like Hungry Man is a dream. I’ve been a fan of their work for ages – it has consistently been culture-defining. To join such a talented roster of directors is humbling and inspiring. I’ve been warmly welcomed into the family, and I can’t wait to get started and to tell visual and emotional stories with them.”

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    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.

    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."
