Erick Ausaru Kwashie

Erick Ausaru Kwashie came into the world in London, which honestly feels like the perfect kick-off for a guy who’d end up carving out such a wild ride in film. He’s one of those behind-the-scenes magicians—an assistant director who’s got his fingerprints all over some pretty gnarly projects. Most folks these days are buzzing about “Trapped in the Crunchy Death Zone,” which, let’s be real, sounds like something you’d stumble across at midnight and then not be able to look away. It’s dropping in 2025, and if the rumors are true, it’s got that mix of edge and chaos that grabs you by the collar. But Erick’s not just a future face—he’s been doing the rounds for a while. “Cavalière Queens” shows off his knack for wrangling big personalities and bigger storylines, while “Suspects” (2014) wasn’t just any procedural; it had that gritty, almost documentary vibe that made you feel like you were getting your hands dirty right alongside the characters. Erick’s style is tough to pin down. He’s not flashy, but he’s sharp—he brings this energy to set that people actually talk about. Like, he’s the guy you want when things start to go sideways and you need somebody who can hold the whole circus together. London’s got this knack for churning out creative weirdos and visionaries, and Erick’s right in that lane. Not a lot of public drama or headline-chasing—just a dude who keeps building up his resume, one chaotic film set at a time. If you’re keeping tabs on the next generation of British film, don’t sleep on this guy.
