The Ascension Series - Adam Raja

Part 1 of The Ascension Series - tells the story of Adam, a young Glaswegian with Pakistani heritage who spent his youth embroiled in gang culture, knife crime, and drug and alcohol abuse. Until he set foot in the mountains, and there he found the confidence and community that redefined his life. It is a story that explores cultural heritage, identity, and connection to a landscape. At its simplest, it’s the tale of one man’s journey to becoming comfortable with the person he truly is.

Sustainability Notes:

At Coldhouse Collective we are working to make all our projects as sustainable as possible. This was a small-scale project which was low impact, we used public transport and car sharing, accommodated our crew at shared self-catered accommodation and hired local crew where possible to film locally for our contributor. Our Production Manager kept track of sustainability in production and included a sustainability note on our call sheets to ensure that the crew are aware of our expectations.
