    NEW YORK --

    Integrated production shop The Collective @ LAIR has added comedy director Matty Fisher to its roster. Fisher recently earned inclusion into SHOOT’s 2018 New Directors Showcase largely on the strength of his Kit Kat comedy spec spot “Kinvisible” meshing live action and effects.

    Fisher has made a name for himself based on his penchant for uncovering stories in unexpected places and deploying off-the-wall ways in which to tell them. Fisher’s first entry into the Doritos Crash The Superbowl contest placed in the top 5 and his augmented reality GPS-based, scavenger hunt app was featured in The Wall Street Journal’s documentary series, Start Up of the Year. Integral to his ease with storytelling is Fisher’s experience owning his own production company, at which he worked on assorted industrials, commercials, and web-based videos with clients like Chevrolet, Southern Living and Lennox.

    Currently, Fisher writes and directs in New York City where he’s developed and written multiple award-winning commercials and short films, including garnering a Gold Movie Award for The Tale of the Norwood Dragon. His prior clients include Verizon, Chevrolet, Suave, Simply and Zantac.

    Fisher said he was drawn to LAIR for its “great pool of talent. They have immediately given me a creative home and have already proven to be a resourceful team of collaborators.”

    Supreme Court Allows Multibillion-Dollar Class Action Lawsuit To Proceed Against Meta

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    The Supreme Court is allowing a multibillion-dollar class action investors' lawsuit to proceed against Facebook parent Meta, stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

    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.

    Investors allege that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users' personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump 's first successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.

    Inadequacy of the disclosures led to two significant price drops in the price of the company's shares in 2018, after the public learned about the extent of the privacy scandal, the investors say.

    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
