    Industry screening at The Landmark in L.A. to be followed by in-person interviews with the artisans who discuss the art and craft behind director Kathryn Bigelow's feature

    LOS ANGELES --

    The art of collaboration and the contributions of key artists spanning editing, production design, sound and casting will be front and center during a special event on the evening of Wednesday, December 13, at The Landmark theatre in Los Angeles. It starts with a screening of director Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit at 7 pm followed by a live in-person interview session with editor Harry Yoon, production designer Jeremy Hindle, sound designer/supervising sound editor/re-recording mixer Paul N.J. Ottosson and casting director Victoria Thomas. 

    Detroit tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of 1967. The film centers on a racially motivated crime that took place one night at the Algiers Motel. Up-and-coming Motown musician, Larry Reed (Algee Smith), six other young African American men and two young white women were terrorized by local police, despite the presence of the State Police, the National Guard, and an African American security guard (John Boyega). Before the sun rose in the motor city, three of the young males were slain in cold blood. Detroit charts the crime and the survivors’ futile search for justice. Reed’s dreams of stardom disappear as he struggles to find a way forward. 

    Yoon, Hindle, Ottosson and Thomas will share backstories and insights into Detroit as they are interviewed by SHOOT editor Robert Goldrich.

    Ottosson has won two Oscars for prior Bigelow films–Best Achievement in Sound Editing for The Hurt Locker, and Best Achievement in Sound Editing for Zero Dark Thirty.

    Yoon co-edited Detroit with Billy Goldenberg, A.C.E. Yoon recently completed Best of Enemies directed by Robin Bissell; his other editing credits include HBO’s The Newsroom and several features that premiered at Sundance, including Drunktown’s Finest and Half-Life.

    Detroit continues production designer Hindle’s collaborative relationship with Bigelow. They earlier teamed on Zero Dark Thirty. Hindle also continues to find great success in commercials.

    Casting director Thomas has lent her talents to such features as Hidden Figures, The Hateful Eight, Fences, Straight Outta Compton, Pawn Sacrifice, D’Jango Unchained, 42, Blood Diamond, Ali, High Fidelity, Crimson Tide, The Last Samurai, Ed Wood, The Grifters, White Men Can’t Jump, and The Piano.

    The Detroit screening and Q&A session are open to industry attendees and one guest. RSVPs are required.

    Wednesday, December 13, The Landmark (10850 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles)

    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
