Mercury Cinema / Philosophy

Mercury Cinema was created in the belief that filmmakers and other media professionals can do more than just entertain. Media have the power to teach, reflect, and comment on society. That’s what entertainment has done for centuries. Mercury Cinema’s goal is to be entertaining, sophisticated, and thought-provoking.

That doesn’t mean there’s no fun in the productions made here, and it certainly doesn’t mean there isn’t room for pure, escapist fluff now and then. What Mercury Cinema won’t do is hit the audience over the head with obvious or rehashed plots and moral statements.

Some of the productions here will succeed beyond expectation, and others will fail miserably. But that’s OK. Mercury Cinema is an evolving entity. Much of the fun will be to see where it grows from here.
