Pitof Comar, film director (Catwoman, Alien: Resurrection).

My guest today is a French film director and pioneer in the world of digital imaging. Born in Paris, he studied architecture and medicine at university before joining the film industry. He co-founded Duran Duboi , a postproduction house that created visual effects for music videos by artists including Prince , Madonna , Lenny Kravitz , and Boy George . As a VFX pioneer, he formed a close collaboration with the director Jean-Pierre Jeunet , with whom he worked on the feature films “ Delicatessen ”, “ City of Lost Children ”, and “ Alien: Resurrection ”. In 2001 my guest made his directorial debut with “ Vidocq ”, which holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s first all-HD movie, released ahead of 'Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones’. Two years later, he directed “ Catwoman ” starring Halle Berry in the lead role.
