    FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) --

    Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof’s “There Is No Evil” won the Golden Bear prize Saturday for best picture at the Berlin Film Festival. Rasoulof wasn’t there to accept the award due to a travel ban imposed on him by Iranian authorities. 

    “There Is No Evil” tells four stories loosely connected to the use of the death penalty in Iran and dealing with personal freedom under tyranny. 

    The Berlin festival jury led by actor Jeremy Irons chose the film over 17 others competing for the prize, including Sally Potter’s “The Road Not Taken,” a remake of “Berlin Alexanderplatz,” and “Siberia,” starring Willem Dafoe and Dounia Sichov. 

    Organizers left an empty chair and name sign for Rasoulof at the news conference for his entry. Germany’s dpa news agency reported that Rasoulof’s daughter, Baran, accepted the Golden Bear award on his behalf.

    Director Dylan Bradshaw Joins PARAGON For Commercials and Branded Content

    Monday, November 17, 2025

    Production studio PARAGON has added director Dylan Bradshaw to its roster for advertising and branded content collaborations. Bradshaw is a next-gen director blending cinematic storytelling with viral internet culture. He broke out after teaming with co-director Nate Norell to win the 2025 Doritos Crash The Super Bowl contest with “Abduction.” The self-funded spot made its mark, reaching a mega Super Bowl audience and gaining industry recognition. “Dylan represents the new wave of filmmaking we’re most excited about, where cinema and internet culture blur together with precision and next-gen creativity,” commented PARAGON founder/executive producer Jack Linderman. “He’s fearless, curious, and constantly pushing what storytelling can be. Partnering with directors like Dylan keeps us sharp and inspired, and we’re looking forward to what we’ll create together.” Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Bradshaw grew up with a passion for storytelling inspired by filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. Encouraged to pursue storytelling with unrestricted imagination, Bradshaw directed projects from a young age, finding joy in bringing people together in the creative process. Witnessing the emergence of YouTube creators--“overly caffeinated people like me who love creating films with their friends”--he was inspired to follow suit in his own way. Moving to Los Angeles, Bradshaw became a director at King Studio, home of TikTok’s most-viewed video. He went on to direct global campaigns for brands like CeraVe, the NFL, and PepsiCo, with work featuring Tom Brady, MrBeast, and Charli D’Amelio. Bradshaw then harnessed this experience as an independent director and was thrust into the creative spotlight with the Doritos Crash The Super Bowl... Read More
