Sylvain Despretz - Midnight Show

Midnight Show is a 80 pages, softcover volume, filled with illustrations that, despite our best efforts, we were unable to fit into the main book. These drawings are for the most part related to movie projects but feature also some personal artwork by Sylvain. The book is 8,5 x 11 inches (A4) in size. 

Sylvain Despretz is an independent writer-director who has worked extensively in the USA and in Europe in the fields of storyboarding and illustration. His mentor in the early part of his career was none other than the late Jean “Mœbius” Giraud, the world-renowned artist.

Sylvain took his first steps as an art director in New York at the advertising agency BBDO where, over a number of years, he worked on TV spots for clients like Pepsi, Gillette and General Electric. When he moved to Hollywood, he created storyboards for director David Fincher for Madonna’s Like a Prayer music video, and worked alongside pop star Michael Jackson on video concepts for his Dangerous album. Throughout the 1990s Sylvain also worked for director Ridley Scott and, over two decades, contributed to the development of numerous feature film projects and TV spots.
