Created as a part of the Four Stories competition held by Intel and W Hotels, Eugene is the darkly comedic tale of a man granted the power to make wishes come true when he mysteriously receives a laptop delivered to his hotel room.

Updating the genie-in-a-bottle plot-line by transforming its wish-granter into a much more contemporary container – a laptop – Eugene plays the anything-is-possible card closely to its chest by granting this power to its shy and awkward protagonist.

Always read the fine print. Just saying.
