Jean Luret (born 6 August 1952) is a French director, producer and screenwriter.

## Career

At the end of the high school, to improve his English, Luret went to live in London.

In 1978, Luret created Cinémadis, a production company and film distribution. He began to create, at this time, feature films, including Baisers exotiques; Comme des bêtes, with Michel Galabru, Robert Castel, Katia Tchenko and Jacques Balutin; Exotic Kisses; and Like Animals (a feature film with the voice of animal Claude Piéplu).

In 1986, Luret penetrated the fashion world by conducting interviews with celebrities who are still shown on television. Luret has an archive of over 2,000 hours of footage and interviews with celebrities of all kinds. These records are classified, scanned, indexed and made available to researchers.

In the beginning of the 1990s, Luret created for fashion houses hundreds of corporate videos on fashion shows. Hence, he obtained the recognition of this medium and the confidence of designers, which allows him even today to work with leading fashion houses.

In parallel with this activity, Luret produced and directed for French television documentary series, including:

* Paris Chic, anthologie de la mode – 35 episodes of 26 minutes each; broadcast on Planète+
* Arts de vivre – 12 episodes of 26 minutes each; broadcast on Odyssée
* Paris Glamour – 12 episodes of 26 minutes each; broadcast on NRJ 12

Documentaries of 52 minutes include:

* Black Beauty – broadcast on France Ô
* Katoucha, le destin tragique d'un top model – broadcast on France 3

With JLP Movies, Luret's activity consists in creating, for companies and private individuals, short and promotional films for websites.
