Beneficiary: Jean-Luc Didier Henri-Rene BRUNEL
Dear Sir / Madam:
The present letter and its enclosures are submitted in support of the attached 0-1 petition of MC2 Models Miami, LLC, on behalf of Mr. Jean Luc Brunel. The petition is based upon Mr. Brunel's standing as an "Alien of Extraordinary Ability in Art Direction and Talent Coordination." Kindly note that Mr. Brunel currently holds 0-1 status with our organization.
The South Florida area and Miami Beach in particular have become a mecca for the fashion and modeling industries. As a result, many of the largest international modeling agencies such as Ford, Elite, and MC2 have opened offices in South Beach and the area has become one of the most important in the modeling industry. In fact, Miami Beach has become second only to New York City in terms of employment opportunities for fashion models in the United States. Attached as EXHIBIT 1, please find several press and media articles documenting the rise of South Beach as one of the United States' main fashion capitals.
In 1996, our company. MC2 (formerly Karin Models), established an office in the heart of the historic Art Deco District of Miami Beach. "South Beach" has truly become one of the world's modeling capitals and we are pleased to be a part of it. Our agency has developed a highly distinguished reputation in the modeling industry. We specialize in representing numerous models of international acclaim. Having discovered faces such as Christy Turlington, and molded the careers of celebrities such as Sharon Stone, Estella Warren, Milla

Jovovich, Jerry Hall and Rebecca Romijn, who is currently starring in the award-winning ABC television series, Ugly Betty; MC2 models are among the most
sought after in the industry, as evidenced by the caliber of their commercial and editorial bookings. Many of our fashion models have graced the pages of leading fashion magazines of the United States, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Australia such as Vogue, Teen Vogue, Elle, W, Glamour, V, Marie Claire,
Surface and Cosmopolitan as well as many more throughout the world. In
addition to our Miami Beach office, MC2 Models has offices in New York City
and Tel Aviv, Israel.
As Artistic Director and Talent Coordinator for MC2 Models Miami, LLC, Mr.
Brunel will be responsible for overseeing the artistic aspects of the agency. By overseeing the art department in the agency, Mr. Brunel will direct the visual
marketing of the models to clients, focusing on the images placed on both the
model's composite cards and their portfolios. Both of these marketing tools are crucial in marketing fashion models to their appropriate catalog, editorial, or media clients. As Artistic Director and Talent Coordinator, Mr. Brunel will also
coordinate the pairing of fashion models with a particular photographer. Clients
for the agency include a myriad of fashion publications, retail stores, consumer
product companies, and fashion houses to name but a few. Recruitment of talented artistic photographers who have an excellent understanding of the "ins and outs" of the modeling and fashion industry is critical to the successful
running of a top-modeling agency such as MC2 Models. Mr. Brunel will also
continue with his amazing track record of discovering the world's greatest
talents and beauties in order to sign them with MC2 Models. Mr. Brunel will
continue to travel around the world looking for new talents, and to agencies around the world in order to establish relationships with those agencies and allow MC2 Models Miami, LLC to represent them in the United States.
Mr. Brunel's impressive qualifications as an Art Director and Talent
Coordinator, establish eligibility as to the regulatory standards for such classification as a top professional in his field. Mr. Brunel meets the 0-1 criteria as an individual of extraordinary ability in the Arts and Entertainment field as well as
a business entrepreneur. MC2 Models Miami, LLC is presently seeking a
sophisticated art director and talent coordinator. After reviewing his experience
and accolades, we are confident that the beneficiary, Mr. Jean Luc Brunel, will
perform said function with outstanding skill and professionalism.
I. MR. BRUNEL'S QUALIFICATIONS AS THE BENEFICIARY
In addition to Jean Luc Brunel's extensive business qualifications, his career as an individual with artistic vision and creative talents qualifies him as an 0-1 alien in the Arts and Entertainment Field. His all- encompassing experience
as an Art Director, Talent Coordinator, international entrepreneur and business
2
EFTA01113659
leader in the modeling, fashion, entertainment, public relations, restaurant, and tourism industries has made Mr. Brunel internationally renowned in those fields. Among his various accomplishments throughout his career are the successful
modeling agencies he has founded both in Europe and in the United States. For example, in 1978, Mr. Brunel founded and grew Karin Models Paris from the ground up to become a lead-market agency with a world-wide presence. Capturing a strong market share in Paris, Mr. Brunel successfully created Karin Models as a platform for marquee clients to obtain sophisticated public relations
services and important modeling contract opportunities. Mr. Brunel's success was so great with Karin Paris that in the next ten years, he founded Next Model
Management in Los Angeles, California in 1980, Next Model Management in Miami, Florida in 1982, Model Management Group also in Miami, Florida in 1986, and Rebecca Commercial Casting in New York City, in 1988. The latter one was
opened as a talent and casting agency for performers, offering services such as voice-overs, television, and cinema advertising work, again, successfully carving out a niche by which to make his mark and achieve bold commercial
performance results.
Although Mr. Brunel later sold his rights to Next Management to Faith Kates in 1989, who partnered with Joel Wilkenfeld a couple of years later; NEXT represents some of the most prestigious women and men in the fashion world today. Star talent includes renowned fashion models Molly Sims, Daniela Pestova, Audrey Quack, Yamila Diaz, and Malgosia Bela. NEXT continues to maintain an influential international force in the fashion and modeling industry
through its fully operational offices in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Sao Paolo, Montreal, London, and Paris, as well as its affiliates in Milan and Australia.
Because of strong revenue growth and successful business performance,
as a result of his artistic vision as an artistic director and talent coordinator, Mr.
Brunel founded the very successful Karin Models of America in New York City
and Karin Models USA in Miami Beach. Mr. Brunel's commercial ventures in opening Karin agencies in Paris, New York, and Miami have been extremely
successful, generating combined annual revenues of twenty five (25) million dollars. Eventually, Mr. Brunel licensed the Karin name to agencies in Israel,
Denmark, Germany, and Spain. Mr. Brunel's extraordinary talents are not only limited to launching successful modeling businesses, but also in discovering and launching the careers of some of the world's most successful models. Mr. Brunel has launched the extremely successful careers of supermodels such as Christy Turlington, Rachel Hunter, Sharon Stone, Monica Bellucci, Estella Warren, and Christina Semonnovskaya. These women all proceeded to become some of the most photographed international cover models in the world, appearing on thousands of magazine covers worldwide and spanning many years. As a result of his reputation as a highly visible, strategic networker who cultivates and conducts business in a global environment and brokers lucrative deals, many
3
EFTA01113660
top players in the fashion and entertainment field requested that Mr. Brunel
function as their exclusive agent and representative. Some of these top former
and present professional supermodels in the fashion field include, Naomi
Campbell, Christy Turlington, Rebecca Romijn, Milla Jovanovich, Inez Sastre, Melanie Thierry, and Jerry Hall. Attached as EXHIBIT 2, please find press articles
regarding the models and actresses who were both discovered by and careers were launched by the beneficiary, Jean Luc Brunel. Additionally, attached as EXHIBIT 3, please find several articles regarding the prestigious reputation of

agency setting. MC2 Model Management is already being lauded by fashion
insiders as "one of the hottest agencies in North America" as well as "prominently positioned to be one of the major players of the Zeros because of its insider relationships with the most influential photographers around." We invite you to visit www.mc2mm.com in order to view the high-caliber of models, MC2
represents. Some of its most recent successful bookings include Liu Dan's exclusive contract as the face of the Fall 2007 Guess Campaign and Sammy
Jo's cover story for Cosmopolitan Magazine. Attached as EXHIBIT 4, please find a list of all of MC2's clients, including several high-profile campaigns featuring
some of MC2's fashion models, as well as several press clippings regarding this prestigious and reputable modeling agency.
Jean Luc Brunel's entrepreneurial spirit is not only contained to the field of arts, beauty, and fashion. In 1970, as a result of his business insight, Mr. Brunel
founded and grew Jean Luc Relations Publique, which specialized in press and promotions for tour operators and restaurants in France. During his work through
Jean Luc Relations Publique, Mr. Brunel represented various key clients and collaborated on numerous prestigious events. Some of the prestigious events include: Air Tour and Daro Voyages. Jean Luc Relations Publique also promoted
and marketed La Tour D'Argent, a three-star restaurant owned by Claude Terrail
and, "The Go-Between", a motion picture by George Losey. Other projects
taken on by Mr. Brunel through his public relations company was his work as product agent for Jean Claude Killy, 1968 Winter Olympic Gold Medalist skier, to promote Vail, Colorado in France for tourism potential and also directed all of the promotion for Finland's Ministry of Tourism. In 1975, Mr. Brunel further invested
in the Food and Hospitality market by creating and developing "El Mono Desnudo"- a legendary, high-end bar on the Iberian Peninsula. This bar was known throughout the peninsula as extremely exclusive and attracted a celebrity clientele that included actress, Ursula Andress, and the Duchess D'Alba.

Generation- to cross promote these key industries with international business and investment opportunities. Mr. Brunel has promoted and judged various modeling
contests throughout South America including modeling contests staged in countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Conceived in 1987, the Latin Model of the World event was a high-end modeling and entertainment
product that appealed to upscale international audiences, reaching nearly 400-million television viewers worldwide.

have achieved. As stated above, Mr. Brunel has discovered and represented
various super models throughout his career. Christy Turlington, who was
discovered by Mr. Brunel, has personified unaffected beauty- representing
Calvin Klein's fragrances since 1987. Turlington, as well as another model
represented by Mr. Brunel, Naomi Campbell, became one of the few
supermodels, who managed to make an easy transition from the haute glamour

Additionally, please find several pages from IMTA's official website documenting
their discovery of the above-mentioned A-list actors and actresses, whose
