Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme

Moonshine Film Ventures has been approved under the UK government's Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) to develop a slate of high-quality vertical and cinematic dramas for global streaming and feature adaptation.

We are raising £250,000 to establish a repeatable production framework. Creating multiple short-form & feature projects under one scalable studio model.

The company also plans to utilise the UK's Independant Film Tax Credit (IFTC), which rebates up to 40% of eligible UK production expenditure.

Together, these two mechanisms (SEIS & IFTC), allow investors to benefit from 50% income tax relief & enhanced capital efficency through the film tax rebate, while supporting genuine British creative innovation.

Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts have created a massive appetite for story-driven, premium vertical content, yet few production companies can deliver it with true cinematic quality.

Moonshine Film is among the first in the UK to combine cinema-standard storytelling with the vertical format, capturing a fast-growing global audience


This is a repeatable business model, not a single film. Each project contributes to a growing library of UK-owned intellectual property and future licensing potential.

Vertical dramas represent a unique early adopter opportunity, the space is open, the audience is ready, and the timing is perfect.

With its own kit, crew, and proven production experience, Moonshine Film is ideally positioned to lead this emerging format and deliver both creative and financial returns.

Revenue & Recoupment Model

Investor funds will be used to establish the Moonshine vertical-drama production framework, enabling continuous creation of short-form and feature-length content.

All incoming revenue including streaming, international sales, sponsorships, licensing and feature distribution will first flow into a recoupment pool, distributed as follows:

1. 100% of investor capital is repaid first, ensuring investors recover their full initial investment before any producer participation.

2. Once capital has been repaid, net profits are shared 50/50 between the investor group and Moonshine Film Ltd.

3. Investors retain ongoing profit participation in perpetuity, meaning they continue to benefit from all future revenue derived from the project — including its feature adaptation, licensing, or remakes.
