Producing a screenplay means taking a written script and turning it into a finished film. The costs range from a few thousand dollars for a micro-budget short to millions for a studio feature. Here's how the costs break down:
| Project Type | Typical Budget Range |
|---|---|
| Micro-budget feature | $50,000-$250,000 |
| Indie feature | $250,000-$2,000,000 |
| Mid-budget feature | $2,000,000-$20,000,000 |
| Studio feature | $20,000,000-$200,000,000+ |
| Short film | $5,000-$100,000 |
| Web series episode | $2,000-$50,000 |
