Today's guest is Luner Eugene. Luner is a director, writer, producer, and cinematographer born in Port-de-Paix, Haiti. At the age of 9, he migrated to the United States to join his parents who had gone ahead years prior to pave the way for Luner to have every chance at realizing the American Dream. Luner directs and produces short films, web series, and music videos mainly for independent artists. In 2008, he produced and entered his first short film "Employed" for the Johnson & Johnson BET Lens on Talent Film Contest, which started the filmmaking bug. Later, Luner's "Poukisa Music Video" by the group GazzmanDisip, featuring Richard Cave was nominated for best cinematography by the Widescreen Film and Music Festival. Currently, Luner is directing the hit web series, Bae Night Season 2. Season 1 was nominated for four categories in the 2018 Miami Web Festival. Luner won the Best Cinematography Award; leading actress, Sandra Justice, won the Best Actress Award; and the series won the Best of the Fest Award. Luner also wrote, directed and produced the feature film, "Loving Till it Hurts," a romantic drama about a lonely, unhappy housewife who runs into an old high school friend at a time when she is experiencing emotional abandonment and struggling to maintain the love for her husband.
