    LOS ANGELES --

    Logan & Sons, the live-action division of bicoastal content creation studio LOGAN, has signed filmmaker Tom Schlagkamp for U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content. He is also repped by BITE Management in Germany. Prior to joining Logan & Sons, Schlagkamp had most previously been repped in the ad arena by Joinery.

    The Berlin and Los Angeles-based director’s advertising work for clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Adidas, Volkswagen, Samsung, McDonald’s, Chivas Regal, Seagrams and Vodafone, among others, can be described as miniature dramatic films.

    A lover of the electric guitar, Schlagkamp’s distinctive style draws inspiration from rock ‘n roll’s thrilling and dramatic narrative arcs. He first drew international attention in 2013 winning a top prize at the Young Directors Awards in Cannes for his short film The Rock’n’Roll Manifesto, a blood, sweat and tears ode to rock narrated by Pantera’s Phil Anselmo.

    Schlagkamp got his start in television, working on campaigns for German network RTL, and then began making short films and directing music videos. He studied at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg and UCLA. In film school, Schlagkamp transitioned to commercial directing after earning praise for a satirical short film that took the form of a George W. Bush political advertisement.

    “It fascinates me to tell emotional and complex stories in such a short time,” said Schlagkamp.

    LOGAN founder Alexei Tylevich assessed, “Tom has an unmatched ability to blend raw emotion and high concept into striking visuals and memorable storytelling.”

    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
