Moonshine is seeking £250,000 to produce a Vertical Drama
Moonshine Film is seeking to develop a slate of high-quality vertical, cinematic dramas for global streaming.
We are raising £250,000 to establish a repeatable production framework with the creation of our first in-house vertical drama. Creating multiple short-form & feature projects under one scalable business model.
We plan to utilise the UK's Independant Film Tax Credit (IFTC), which rebates up to 40% of eligible UK production expenditure.
Capital is at risk. Always seek independant advice.
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 in this space, Moonshine Film is ideally positioned to lead this emerging format and deliver both creative and financial returns.
The Pilot Slate
Format: Vertical Drama Series (9x Vertical Episodes)
The first phase of the Moonshine Film pitch will developing a Pilot Vertical Drama.
This project will capitalise on the rising popularity of vertical dramas in the UK.
The production brings together Moonshine Film’s award-winning in-house crew, a network of experienced directors and cinematographers, and cutting-edge camera and lighting technology.
The story will blend high-concept drama with popular narrative hooks, appealing to both digital-native viewers and international film buyers.
Production is scheduled for early 2026, with the feature adaptation targeted for Q4 2026 release.
What Moonshine Film Provides
Moonshine Film has quickly become one of London’s most respected UK Fixer kit and crew providers, trusted by top-tier production companies, agencies, and brands.
Now in 2025, we have expanded into original IP licensing and vertical-drama production, leveraging our established infrastructure and creative talent base to deliver high-end projects at unprecedented efficiency and value.
Moonshine Film is opening this opportunity to a small group of private investors who wish to participate in the next wave of British independent production, combining cinematic storytelling with short-form innovation.
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.
