Wide Awake Media

Compelling Films.
Unforgettable Impact.
WideawakeMedia is a Vermont-based media company dedicated to telling big stories in a down-to-earth way. With a focus on meaningful, socially conscious filmmaking, we create documentaries that explore justice, community, and the richness of the human experience.
Founded by director Bill Muench, WideawakeMedia builds on a legacy of heartfelt storytelling. A former educator and basketball coach, Bill shifted full-time to documentary filmmaking after the success of his award-winning films The Artist & the Astronaut and Sea Bright Rising. Each project reflects his passion for uncovering powerful narratives with emotional depth and historical resonance.

The team includes composer Todd Hobin, a legend in the music industry whose scores bring warmth and soul to every frame, and cinematographer David Rose of Hitting Redline, whose striking visuals elevate our stories with clarity and beauty.
