About Entertainment Consultants

Operating out of Rocklin/Roseville, California, Entertainment Consultants is a streamlined event company that comes with over 45 years of industry experience. Owner/director Andrew Eugene promoted his first event when he was 16 years old. A Halloween Rock concert at his local community center. The show was a success and Andrew continued in the entertainment realm while also engaging in miscellaneous jobs along the way. By 1980 Andrew operated a small live music venue, studio, and party place. Andrew then relocated down to Hollywood where he was offered a position with ‘Gatherings de Elegance’ a full-service event company focused on weddings and corporate functions. This is where Andrew really learned the attention to detail necessary to complete a successful event with highly satisfied clients.

Over the next 30 years, Andrew was regularly contracted by the Santa Fe Party Company in the East Bay, published a Bay Area entertainment fanzine, opened a large-scale restaurant/banquet hall, produced the Monterey Summer of Love festivals and stage shows, helped launch the Global Winter Wonderland light festivals which now operates annually at Cal Expo as Imaginarium360 and finally, books and presents the weekend live music shows at the world-famous Denio's Farmers Market in Roseville, High Hand Brewery in Loomis and various other bookings. Whew! No wonder Andrew, now in his 60’s, has settled down to a simpler operation.

Recently, his daughter Natalie, who has worked with him on various events over the years, reminded him of an old idea they discussed back in 2010. A faux awards program where anyone can be a "Star for a Night". Together they realized that this concept has now become quite doable because, with today's smartphones, average people have the capability to easily make their own video shorts and movies. So here they are, working together and moving forward with ‘The Selfie Movie Awards’.
