FAQS

What types of production does Mercury CX fund?
Mercury CX funds short-form projects through the annual Quicksilver production fund. Applications open mid-year for creative teams. Up to five projects are funded.
Can I apply as an individual for production funding?
Mercury CX funds projects that are production-ready through the Quicksilver fund. This usually means that key creatives will be attached to the project already. Contact us to discuss your specific project.
Do I have to be a member to access production support and funding?
Yes, this is a benefit of MCX Membership.
Can I apply for production funding outside the Quicksilver fund?
Except for specific initiatives, no. From time to time, Mercury CX will have other production initiatives, sometimes in partnership with other agencies and organisations. An example of this is the recent New Voices Film Lab, in conjunction with the South Australian Film Corporation and Adelaide Film Festival.

As an MCX member, you’re entitled to a one-hour professional consult once per year. Our development programs such as Springboard provide professional development opportunities and Springboard + includes tailored advice.
