Eugene

An award-winning documentary short, Eugene, is a last-days confessional of a man who died alone in his tent in San Francisco’s Presidio. Known around the area as “Buddy,” he and his cat Trouble were a common sight panhandling on Chestnut Street, his good cheer masking a painful and damning secret about his past.  Winner of the best short documentary awards at the Phoenix Film Festival and the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, Eugene was eligible for an Academy Award in 2014.
