<div>What if psilocybin’s greatest potential lies in <strong>prevention</strong>? Not just in treating illness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This film will bring that idea to the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Four years ago, I took a small piece of mushroom chocolate and went for a walk on the beach. I had no idea that day would change my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because after years of trying everything for my mental health, I was still struggling to be happy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But that day, I finally reconnected with myself. I reconnected with nature. I knew how to be happy again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Then... Australia legalised psychedelic medicine.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was excited. I had to break the law to access them, but now they could help so many other people, right?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>That's what I thought.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But after travelling across Australia interviewing the leading experts, I discovered a harsh truth:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You're only allowed to access psilocybin <strong>as a last resort</strong>, with a severe mental diagnosis. And only if you pay $25,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the same time, the science shows that psilocybin is safe, and proven to help us feel connected to self, others, and nature.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yet most people will <strong>never</strong> be able to access these tools.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your help, we can change this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THE BIGGER OPPORTUNITY</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I believe there’s a much bigger opportunity, beyond treating illness, to explore how psilocybin could be used proactively to support wellbeing, connection, and purpose... <strong><em>before</em> people end up sick.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve spent the past three years turning that idea into a feature documentary, <em>A Trip to Transformation, </em>aimed at mainstream audiences and designed to shift public understanding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following the success of <em>How to Change Your Mind</em>, we believe this documentary is the next critical step forward to ultimately have a larger impact on the mental health crisis.

<div><strong>WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This film has already been three years in the making. Since our first crowdfund that took us around Australia, I've poured my heart and soul to turn this into a global feature film that I believe can make a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have a powerful story mapped out designed to destigmatise and normalise psychedelics as tools for wellbeing. We have:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>An award-winning team to bring this to life including including Damon Gameau (2040, That Sugar Film)
</li>
<li>Access to leading researchers, legal retreat centres, and international facilitators for a powerful global story.
</li>
<li>A full teaser trailer, website, and impact strategy ready to go.
</li>
<li>A powerful story crafted over three years with the guidance of leading researchers, writers, and cultural experts.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, we're heading overseas to capture a world-first story: <strong>how legal psilocybin retreats in Oregon, Colorado, and the Netherlands are helping everyday people reconnect to themselves, to nature, and to what matters.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ll show how these legal models are providing safe, intentional, and science-backed access, <em>before</em> people hit rock bottom.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And we're showing why we urgently need scientific research on healthy volunteers in natural settings, to explore how these tools can proactively support wellbeing, not just treat illness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lastly, we’re showing how all around the world everyday people are turning to psilocybin to reconnect and heal. This isn’t fringe anymore. And we've crafted a powerful narrative to show this to the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>All of this costs money.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Making a feature film aimed at Netflix costs a small fortune. With my producer, Anna, we’re applying for government grants. But they take time, and they’re not guaranteed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you believe in the potential of psychedelics to improve the wellbeing of society, please join our mission and help bring this film to life.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will help us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Travel overseas to film at legal psilocybin retreat centres in Oregon, Colorado, and the Netherlands — to show the world there is a way to safely expand access and help more people.
</li>
<li>Document real stories of everyday people who have used psilocybin to find healing, including those shut out of the current medicalised system in Australia.
</li>
<li>Film a groundbreaking study on psilocybin in nature with healthy volunteers.
</li>
<li>Edit and complete the film to a cinematic standard with animation and visuals.
</li>
<li>Distribute globally via major platforms to shift public opinion at scale.
</li>
<li>Launch a global impact campaign and digital app to turn public awareness into action for the psychedelic medicine movement.
</li>
<li>Amplify the message that these tools are not <em>just</em> for the severely ill, but for the wellbeing of society.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just like many films have done in the past, <em>A Trip to Transformation</em> is designed to reach a widespread audience to shift public opinion and change policy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your help, we can tell a story that redefines psychedelics as tools for wellbeing.
