From proof-of-concept, to full season delivery for Vertical Dramas and Micro Dramas, Moonshine Vertical combines cinematic filmmaking and masterful storytelling with the fast-moving world of vertical content, creating premium Vertical / Micro Dramas designed to stand out across every platform.

Trusted by ReelShort, Dramawave & FlexTV platforms.

What are Verticals?

Vertical Drama, also called Micro Drama, is a serialised short-form storytelling format, designed specifically for mobile viewing. They are shot and presented in a Vertical (Portrait) orientation, filling a smartphone screen rather than a widescreen frame.

Targeted at mobile viewing, vertical dramas are distributed across a growing number of vertical streaming platforms and reach millions of viewers worldwide. The format is built around speed and engagement: shorter scripts, streamlined shoots, and efficient post-production workflows mean series can move from development to release far faster than conventional television.

How Moonshine Vertical supports production from proof-of-concept vertical pilots to full-season micro-drama delivery: 

Full production support - scripting, casting, directing and delivery

London-based, in-house crew and kit for complete creative control
