    UK-born Thomas began his work in production at the age of 16, as a runner at Blackdog and RSA in London. He went on to study advertising at Watford Advertising School. While in the program, he made his way to NYC to work with Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Additional career highlights include working as an agency producer for CP+B and Cliff Freeman & Partners, and founding the visual storytelling collective BULLET. He has produced global work for major brands including Mini Cooper, Delta Airlines, and Coca-Cola.

    Thomas’ diverse production experience is a natural fit for the Little Minx team. Scott said, “I love Oscar’s spirit, his enthusiasm, and his ethic of hard work. His decade of experience on the agency side is a new asset for us. I think we make a killer pair.”

    Little Minx’s directorial roster includes Malik Sayeed, Katie Holmes, Rodrigo Prieto, Joe Carnahan, A.V. Rockwell, and Luca Guadagnino.




    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.

    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
