Wayne Gerard Trotman is a Trinidadian British independent filmmaker, writer, composer and producer of electronic music. Trotman studied history and art at Presentation College, San Fernando, Trinidad where he won the Presentation College Art Prize twice - 1979 and 1982. During the early 1980's, Trotman also won 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 to the Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea, London. In 1985, Trotman's painting entitled 'Psychedelic Eric' was accepted for the London Youth Festival exhibition and he was featured in both The Caribbean Times and West Indian World newspapers.

Between the late 1980's and mid 1990's Trotman produced compositions for British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) as well as low budget 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 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.
