Bio:
Eugene has maintained a passion for filmmaking throughout his life. When he watched a movie as a child, he guessed how they filmed a shot, and then watched the special features to see if he was correct. He directed and edited his first short film on VHS in high school. He took a brief break from making shorts to serve four years in the United States Marine Corps, where he learned the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Once he completed his tour of duty, he attended The Art Institute of Dallas to earn his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production. Eugene entered the industry as an assistant camera operator on the ambitious short, “Dispose of Properly” (2013), which won the Dallas 24-Hour Video Race. To keep busy, he performed grip work with a film team out of the University of North Texas. This allowed him the chance to work on two award-winning shorts titled “Three Rounds” (2013) and “Ostinato” (2013). These experiences prepared Eugene for the opportunity to be in the director's chair on the short film, “#Murder” (2014). In 2015, he was the producer on the award-winning short film titled “Totem”. The film won Best Director and nominated for Best Cinematography at a college level film festival. He returned to directing with his next film titled “Two Scoops” (2016) which had a successful film festival circuit run. He is now in post production on his senior thesis film called “Daddy’s Little Girl”.
