‘From the Passenger Seat’ Online Premiere tonight! December 21st at 7PM MST on http://FromThePassengerSeatFilm.com

Recently someone told me that the people with the most debilitating diseases have the most potential to heal others. This was true about Gary. Through his diagnosis with ALS he taught everyone around him to live in the moment, for right now, and to love without restraint.

Having a part in creating this film changed my life. I often reflect back to the silent moments Gary and I spent together on this roadtrip and will be forever grateful for what he taught me.

Huge shoutout to @gabriel_rovick and the whole @f4dstudio team for making this film happen! Free online premiere tonight at 7 then it will be available for purchase on Vimeo for $2.99.

Thank you for the support! Love you all ❤️
-Eric

We were inspired by @griz poem about the forest so we decided to make our own! We totally got down at multiple Griz sets! The memories made frolicking the forest with Warrior Within, being completely ourselves, reminding each other of who we are, dance ourselves into authenticity, and remember—we are free to choose. Here to bless the moments that remind us of the radical expression of our favorite self #griz #electricforest #warriorwithin #spiritcrowns #handmade taken in Electric Forest by @ericheiland

At the end of the year, I found myself focusing on a few very hard moments, and I started to feel like the whole year was like that.

But when I actually look back, 2025 had some beautiful moments.

Thank you to everyone who helped create them with me. Looking forward to more magic, more nature, and more stories in 2026!
