About Moonshine Agency

Moonshine Agency is an impact film production house that creates content with a purpose.

Company principals Mike Hill and Sue Collins have spent the past eleven years focusing on work that moves humanity forward. They believe that a good story, well-told wins hearts and minds, thereby changing the world. When this is coupled with strategic planning and strong calls-to-action you get real world outcomes. It might be achieved through a one minute video or a feature length documentary, a photo or a Facebook page. Visual communications is at the heart of what we do and we’re always exploring new ways to reach our audiences.
