About
This short film is the first in a series designed to tell the stories that make people think, dream, understand the world today and be inspired to create a better tomorrow.
Potion: Dark Matter is created from NASA poster images. We are launching this video to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the Moon Landing with a desire to inspire new audiences to dream about Space travel and the possibilities that still lie ahead. 50 years ago the Cold War was at it’s peak, but this did not stop us from dreaming and working toward a better future. We are again in dark and fearful times, but we can’t let fear prevent us from taking action to create a better future for all creatures on our planet.

Reviews
“A wonderfully artistic and technologically brilliant tour-de-force!”
“I love how the director has expertly integrated science, JPL/NASA art and engaging music through phenomenally-skilled editing.”
“One of my favorite space travel videos ever — and a fantastic way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11!”
“Makes me want to take a Grand Tour of the Planets (although the video itself is a kind of vicarious journey through the Solar System). Bravo! And encore, encore!”
