I’m Eugene Rocco Utley
I began my film career after graduating from Clemson University, where I studied film, journalism, and media writing. Since then, I have not only written, directed, produced, and edited numerous short films, but I also founded the production company in 2024 – Exceletto Productions.
Throughout my career, I’ve been recognized across multiple facets of my craft, receiving rewards for achievements in narrative directing, writing, and editing. My most notable recognition comes from receiving Best Overall Film for my sophomore short film A.B. at the 2023 Tryon International Film Festival, presented by film producer Frank Calo.
I consider myself to be attentive, thorough, and considerate no matter the role in which I’m taking. I balance having a strong confidence in vision with an open mind to collaboration, making sure everyone involved knows the direction where going while also creating spaces that uplift everyone’s creative abilities. Even in hardship, my mind immediately goes towards figuring out next steps, rather than focusing on the problem, and setting the right tone for whatever environment I’m in. Whether I’m the producer or PA, I always bring with me a genuine and welcoming energy that speaks for itself when it comes to showing my passion and care for both the project and all involved with it.
