A sensual, poetic journey about losing and finding one self in Alaska. ASCENT is built from 35mm film stills, found sound and original music by Walsh as well as new poetry by Li Young Lee.

"Positives negatives lonely sad guns ropes spilt milk glaring landscapes animals birds wives friends the pain and dread and longing and living stories are all left out. Only in between moments when not much is happening do we glimpse. Cinematic art and poetry!! Saying what can't be said."
