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

In 1978, Luret founded Cinémadis, a production company and film distribution. During this period, he began creating feature films, including ''Baisers exotiques''; ''Comme des bêtes'', with [[Michel Galabru]], [[Robert Castel (actor)|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 entered 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 early 1990s, Luret created for fashion houses hundreds of corporate videos on fashion shows. As a result, 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 Niane|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.
