Support a Creative Leap: From Charlotte to Chiang Mai

Hi, my name is Treasure. I'm a cinematographer, creative director, and founder of Cychedelic Picture House, a Charlotte-based studio recently named one of the Top 10 in the city. Over the past few years, I’ve built a creative home that empowered storytellers, served brands, and held space for community. Now, I’m being called to grow beyond what I’ve known.

I’m relocating to Thailand to begin the next chapter of my creative and personal journey. This move isn’t just about scenery, it’s about soul. I’ll be living simply, continuing my work in filmmaking and remote editing, and immersing myself in practices like meditation, Salaat, and qigong that have brought me peace and clarity during the hardest moments of my life.

Your support will help me get grounded abroad. It will cover visa and school costs, housing, essential gear transport, and basic living expenses while I build my international portfolio and continue supporting clients through editing, storytelling, and creative direction.

Long term, I want to create global films that merge healing and story, projects that remind people they’re not alone. I want to host creative retreats, work with artists around the world, and eventually create a Cychedelic Picture House abroad. I want to prove that it’s possible to build a sustainable, soul-aligned creative life, without burnout, without code-switching, and without losing yourself in the process.

This isn’t just about funding a move. It’s about backing a vision. Thank you for being part of the leap.

Where Your Support Goes:

Whether you’re giving $10 or $500, every contribution helps me build this new chapter. Here's how your support makes a real impact:

$25 – covers a day of meals and WiFi to edit and work remotely

$50 – pays for local transportation and creative location scouting

$100 – helps with short-term housing while I get established

$250 – supports shipping essential camera and editing gear

$500+ – funds long-term lodging, and future international film projects

⏳ Funding Goal: I leave September 17, 2025! You’re still able to donate after this date in continuation!

This support will help cover key relocation costs before I leave. Every share, donation, or kind word helps bring this vision to life.
