    LOS ANGELES --

    Bicoastal production company Rabbit has signed Emmy Award-winning director Ray Dillman for U.S. commercial representation. He had previously been handled by production house Wondros. Dillman won the Primetime Emmy back in 1999 for the NBC/snapchat.com commercial titled “New Friend.”

    For over two decades Dillman has been known as an actor’s director with a distinct dramatic style, as seen in his work for such top brands as the U.S. Army, Kraft, Allstate, Bank of America, Sargento, Coca Cola, AARP, American Airlines and The Home Depot. He fuses his background as a creative director, his screenwriting experience and his design expertise to bring a collaborative and uniquely full spectrum approach to directing for brands.          

    Noted Rabbit EP Joby Barnhart, “Ray’s experience working on the agency side and deep understanding of every part of the creative process really brings a superior level of communication on set that allows for dynamic collaboration.”

    Dillman said of his decision to join Rabbit, “I really like the broad range of work that they take on as a company and with my background as a creative director, I really like that they are going after a lot of brand direct work.”

    After studying Design/Illustration at the Ringling School of Art and Design, Dillman started his career on the agency side, working as a creative director at top global agencies including Leo Burnett. In 1991, he transferred his in-depth knowledge of the creative commercial process and his polished design aesthetic to shift into working as a director. Starting off at boutique shop Electric Avenue Films, he quickly built a strong reel encompassing dialogue-driven storytelling pieces that have earned noteworthy acclaim, including the aforementioned Emmy Award. Production company roosts for Dillman over the years have included GARTNER (which produced the Emmy winning “New Friend”), MJZ and Avion Films. In addition to his commercial work, Dillman is currently in development on several feature projects, including a film for his original screenplay “Unmanned Warfare” originally set up with Spielberg’s longtime collaborators The Kennedy/Marshall Company and now the subject of talks with Amazon Films.

    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
