Howard Berger is Keynote Speaker at 2010 IMATS in Vancouver, B.C

Howard Berger has been added as a keynote speaker at the International Make-up Artist Trade Show in Vancouver, BC, Canada. He’ll likely talk a bit about working on the Narnia films, with the potential of talking about the advances made for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Howard Berger worked with Stan Winston on Predator and Aliens and Rick Baker on Harry and the Hendersons. In 1988, Berger and Gregory Nicotero formed their own studio, KNB EFX Group, Inc. in Los Angeles. KNB has worked on Dances with Wolves, Casino, the Kill Bill films, and Army of Darkness. Berger’s greatest challenge thus far has been adapting The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It earned him a BAFTA for Best Makeup and an Academy Award for Achievement in Makeup. He has also worked on the second and third Narnia films.
