LINK IN BIO ❤️ love you all
This weekend “We’ll Fix it in Post” competed in the 48 Hour Film Project’s “Yes We Cannes” invitational word wide competition. It could not have been a more beautiful, fulfilling, and challenging experience in all the best ways. We created a beautiful film, that everyone involved can be so proud of. We are grateful for this collaboration, for the energy on set that kept us going, for the creativity we were blessed with, and for everything we learned in the process.
Wing Man is a story about love, self discovery, and perseverance. Those themes were echoed behind the scenes as well. We received the genres “Romance” and “Musical”, so we went out and did both. This is my (Eric Trosch) first musical or romance to direct, and while these are not genres I’m known for, after this weekend, who knows, maybe it won’t be my last 😎
Thank you to my cast and crew for toughing out a long and ambitious @48hourfilmproject competition, you all did so great, I can’t wait to see what the world thinks of the art we made. Thank you to @crazyaboutcostumes Beach House Pompano @filmlauderdale and anyone else who helped contribute to this beautiful film! Much love 🫶🏻🪽

The last year and a half nearly broke me. I was running from myself—burying any drive to succeed because I was scared. Scared of failing, of looking stupid, of not being enough. My soul was screaming to be free, but I shut it down. I don’t know why God gives us dreams—just to crush us? Or to wake us up? I started filming @exoticthemovie during one of the darkest times in my life. I was in a manipulative, emotionally abusive relationship that stripped me of my identity, confidence, and self-worth. I was completely lost. I kept pushing myself to work harder, to “man up” and move on—but it all caught up to me. My body gave out. Panic attacks, insomnia, immunity alopecia areata, rapid weight loss. I was sick, mentally and physically. I started to lose touch with reality. I treated the people I loved like strangers. I hated who I was becoming. Even simple things—getting out of bed—felt impossible. Stress gave me an immune deficiency. My body was crying out just as loud as my soul. That’s when I realized something had to change. I started slowly rebuilding. Taking classes, talking to people, doing new things—even when my mind fought me every step of the way. But I never gave myself time to heal. I thought drowning in work and distractions would fix me. I was just running from myself again. I lacked self-love. I lacked grace for myself. That was the real problem. Only recently I finally slowed down. Took a breath. And I remembered: life is so much more than pressure and pain. I’m a STUBBORN artist who’s been silencing his own voice. I’m done forcing things. Growth is meant to hurt. Real worth starts inside. Ryan Coogler said, “Stay in a place where you feel uncomfortable and stay there long enough until it is.” That’s where I’ve been. But I wouldn’t change it. These painful months shaped me. I accept change. I accept not knowing. I finally love myself.
“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” (Phil 4:13) Here’s to more issues and better days. We all can manifest something better through all the clutter of the world on your shoulders. We are all capable of our goals and aspirations.
FIRST LOOK AT @exoticthemovie . THE TEASER, FULL TRAILER COMING SOON‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I have so much to say about my experience with my first feature but i’ll save it for when final production has finally ended. As an actor it feels surreal for me to apart of something that is bigger than me. A collaboration. I’m thankful to @sogorillaempire for trusting me with this role. I’ve made so many friends and memories during our shoot. More coming soon :).

Thank you all who have supported me on my journey not only as an actor but as an artist. This is my beginning❤️ WE UP
Life is very sacred, and we chose how we expand the energy we are given. Either by some higher power or something that our human brains cannot comprehend. We were given something that has always transcended death and that is our souls. I believe every single creature on this little planet has some capacity of a soul and that each soul is special to that very being. This is why death is never the end of one’s life but the beginning of another, something far more beautiful. Better than any work of art or poem. We often hear clichés “You do not know what you lose until it’s gone”. “You will not know how much you love something until it’s taken from you”. It’s incredibly ironic that this will be the case for every person who lives to the end of their life. This is a lesson we will learn constantly until it happens again and again and again. My sweet baby girl thank you for 14 years, my love for you is spoken while being unspoken at the same time. Creatures like you are innocent and deserve to live for a millennia. You are not gone just somewhere else and I will soon meet you at the end of the road. While every loved one I’ve lost and will lose on this physical plane will be waiting for me with you. “Love your loved ones tight, we do not know how much time we have.” We are all on a time limit, if we saw how much time we had, would we do something differently?
All this grief is the unspoken love I have for you my precious girl Gracie. No greater gift than love. It’s all we have and will ever have :)
