About Me:
Wayne Gerard Trotman is a British writer, filmmaker, artist, photographer, composer and producer of electronic music.
Born in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Trotman studied history and art at Presentation College, San Fernando, where he won the Presentation College Art Prize twice - 1979 and 1982. During the early 1980s, Trotman won several national art prizes in Trinidad and Tobago. His artwork during this period consisted largely of comic book illustrations and acrylic or oil paintings.
In August 1984, Trotman moved to England to study art and design at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea, London. In 1985, his work was chosen for the London Youth Festival Exhibition.
Between the late 1980s and mid 1990s, Trotman produced compositions for television; as well as independent film productions. He completed his second feature film script entitled ‘Ashes to Ashes’ in 1994; and in 1995, his short film – ‘London: Metropolis of the Future’ premiered at the British Short Film Festival.
Trotman, who is trained in several martial arts disciplines, directed, co-produced, scored and edited the British independent film ‘Ashes to Ashes’ in 1998 - arguably the world’s first digital feature film and Britain’s first martial arts movie. He also played the film’s lead role of Gabriel Darbeaux and used real martial arts weapons including the nunchaku or two-piece rod.
In 2006, Trotman co-produced a training DVD, which tackles the cause of anxiety and panic attacks: The Fight or Flight Response.
Between 2006 and 2009, Trotman wrote part one of his epic ‘Psychic Wars’ sci-fi saga: ‘Veterans of the Psychic Wars’.
