Hoorah! We’re incredibly pleased to announce that Sarah & Grace’s project has been funded, thanks to you generous folks out there in the world of the internet & beyond! Here’s their official announcement and all the info of the project – because you should still take a look and share the joy – just below:
We just can’t believe it – we actually got there!
The last minute hustling at Dark Matter HQ was completely insane and thanks to all you lovely people we managed to reach our £20,000 goal in the dying minutes of our campaign.
WAOW. With pledges coming in from all over the world we managed to raise enough money to license all of our archive footage and our beautiful score by Molly Nyman.

Following in the footsteps of the recently launched Kickstarter UK campaign for THE FITZROY (you can still help them now!), we’d also like to recommend putting your hard earned cash behind this truly intriguing and worthy documentary feature THE DARK MATTER OF LOVE, that’s directed by Sarah McCarthy and produced by Grace Hughes-Hallett.
For THE DARK MATTER OF LOVE, Sarah and Grace are hoping to raise money to complete the post-production, including a score by Molly Nyman, on their feature documentary which tells the story of Masha, an eleven year old Russian girl, learning to love her adoptive American family – through a scientific intervention.
Professor Emeritus Dr Robert Marvin has spent a lifetime developing a programme designed to help children learn to love. His framework draws on experiments into monkeys, birds and human children. The film weaves rare footage of these experiments through story of Masha learning to love for the very first time. Watch the trailer now:
Kickstarter monies will also be used to license the archive footage in the film. HBO and The Wellcome Trust have part funded Dark Matter but, like so many filmmakers these days, Sarah and Grace are topping up their production budget through crowd-funding. This Kickstarter projects also offer rewards for cash and this campaign includes a host of exclusive treats including first release downloads of the film (£20) and tickets to the London Premiere and dinner with the filmmakers afterwards (£1,000).
