Eugene Ramos was born and raised in the Chicago area by immigrants from the Philippines who wanted him to follow their footsteps into the medical field. After devouring countless Shakespeare plays, he instead earned a degree in 16th-century British Literature from Northwestern University to the dismay of his parents.

Still wanting to win his parents’ affections, he chose to go to an Ivy League institution for film school and graduated with an MFA in Film from Columbia University. Since then, Eugene has participated in several prestigious programs, including the Humanitas New Voices program, the CAPE New Writers Fellowship, Film Independent’s Project Involve, and the Clarion Science Fiction Writers' Workshop.

His Isaac Newton romantic-comedy script, NEWTON’S LAWS OF EMOTION, won the Sloan Filmmaker Prize at the Tribeca Film Fest and a Gold Prize in the PAGE Awards. He also co-wrote a number of award-winning shorts, including DANDELION FALL (dir. Lauren Wolkstein) and THEY CHARGE FOR THE SUN (dir. Terence Nance), which was nominated for a Humanitas Prize and garnered a “That’s nice” from his mom. Eugene is currently a staff writer on the Netflix animated series, THE DRAGON PRINCE. Because of his love for the Bard and science fiction, Eugene hopes to one day get a tattoo that says, “The Sci-Fi Shakespeare Guy.” (He won’t say where, but it won’t be anywhere his parents can see.)
