Help finish a film about flooding in Charleston

Tyquan Morton is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

Welcome to the GoFundMe page for 'High Water', a love letter to Charleston and a contemplation about rising sea levels, land development, and gentrification.

This GoFundMe started in April 2024. What started as a dream rooted in the soil and salt of Charleston has turned into a ripple that will hopefully make waves across the Lowcountry and beyond. With your support, we've reached our initial $15,000 goal — but we're not done yet.

Your continued support will help:

Finalize post-production (sound mixing, color grading, closed captions)
Cover festival submissions and build momentum for national reach
Fund community screenings and engagement workshops across the Gullah Geechee Corridor and beyond.

This film was never just about making art — it's about preserving cultural memory, resisting erasure, and amplifying Gullah Geechee stories and voices.

Not only is this film personal, but it is urgent. If we wait any longer to tell our stories, we miss out on the opportunity to show the beauty, joy, and resilience of the Gullah Geechee people.
