Quicksilver Production Fund is now Open!

Calling emerging and early career filmmakers!

Applications for the next round of Quicksilver Production Funding are now open.

The Quicksilver Production Fund supports the professional development of creative talent by providing funded production opportunities of short form content that demonstrates an authentic, original artistic vision.

With a total of $136,000 in funding and mentoring support, this is an outstanding opportunity for projects ready to commence production for the first half of 2025.

The Quicksilver Production Fund will provide eight creative teams with grants ranging from $8,000 to a whopping $50,000 to produce a short film or the pilot of a web series. Projects can be narrative fiction, documentary or animation, up to 15-minutes in duration.

At least two of the $10,000 grants will be awarded for projects with a majority of First Nations as key creatives, as part of The Mercury’s commitment to fostering the development of South Australia’s First Nations filmmakers.

In addition to the provision of cash budgets, in-kind support will also be provided by way of equipment and facilities hire, public liability and volunteer insurance cover, a suite of contract templates & production forms, paid project mentoring from an ATL industry mentor, and the use of the Iris Cinema at The Mercury for auditions and a cast & crew screening.

Previous Quicksilver funded projects were screened at the 2024 Adelaide Film Festival as part of the Made in SA program, including Boy on Fire, The Hitcher plus Finding Jia, directed by Alice Yang, which won the Short Film Award!
