As part of his recovery, Adam decided to produce a film, Clandestine, which is semi-autobiographical and is being made in a local high school near to where he himself graduated. He is also promoting community awareness through speaking and through the EPIC program, which stresses self-empowerment for teens.

More about Adam Gold
Adam Gold is a film producer who has struggled with addiction in the past and wrote a screenplay about his experiences. He grew up a popular kid, who excelled in school, sports, had a lot of friends, dated the pretty girls, and on the surface appeared to have it all. Adam went on to college at SDSU, graduated top of his class and got a great job right out of college. Despite everything, he appeared to have going for him, Adam was unhappy, insecure, immature, and dying on the inside. As a result, he made a lot of bad decisions and ended up in a very dark place. The screenplay that investigates Adam’s journey is entitled Clandestine.

Clandestine is a mainstream, feature-length dramatic thriller. Based on a true story, Clandestine exposes a deep crack in the perfect façade of privileged youth in America. It is Adam’s goal to spread awareness about modern American societal pitfalls, (drug and alcohol abuse, crime, violence, and depression) through the use a true entertaining story that viewers across the country can relate to. It is Adam’s hope that after viewing this film, individuals will address issues they already have, or have the awareness to avoid making some of the bad decisions that Adam made in the past. Adam feels that addiction of any kind can only be combated by being truly happy with who you are. Through the film and other non-profit campaigns Adam is working with, he hopes to inspire individuals to be truly happy with who they are, find their passion, and be confident enough not to give into the byproducts of insecurity (drugs, alcohol, violence, eating disorders, depression, etc.).
