Donate To Darklight

Aside from the support of Film London, Darklight is predominantly self-funded. We are working with some fantastically talented people – most of whom are giving up their time for minimal pay, but need your help to provide us with the essential things we need to complete the project.

Our target at the moment is to raise another £5,000 which we’ll use to fund the hire of better camera equipment and the construction of the set for Sarah’s bedroom.

It’s really easy to donate securely with PayPal or credit card using the app on the right. Just pick the amount you wish to donate from the drop down menu. Every pound really does help, and in return we’ve worked out a selection of rewards to say thank you which are below too. If you would prefer to donate by another means or have any questions, please contact us.

If the donation box hasn’t shown up on the right, then you can still donate via PayPal by sending funds from your account to info[@]darklightfilm.com
