Every year there are more and more opportunities for creating your own film studio. If you have a semi-pro camera, a computer, and good ideas, you can easily jump into the business through some kind of competition or festival for independent filmmakers. Thus, more and more people get the opportunity to independently sell and distribute their own films. Therefore, the creation and ownership of a film studio seems very real.

Instructions
Step 1
To set up your own movie studio and start working on your first project, find a budget. The main thing is, when shooting your first film, do not exceed it, but rather find opportunities to save money. One way to do this is to shoot where costs are lower (such as renting a location for filming and costing artists' time).
Step 2
Try to find a budding but up-and-coming director, cameraman, props, actors, etc. It is worth looking for them in specialized educational institutions, at non-commercial film festivals, etc. Maybe you even find a director with a ready-made project, and he will need to help with the distribution of his film. Such work can be a good start for creating a film studio.
Step 3
If you want to create a film studio that will grow rapidly, the key to success is finding an experienced producer. It will help you find good, potentially profitable projects and attract funding. A good producer knows how to get the best deal in virtually every area of filmmaking.
Step 4
Try to partner with big studios. They often look for smaller companies to find new names, breakthroughs.
Step 5
Distribute your projects on the Internet. Even sites like YouTube can be great help with distribution. Try running viral teaser videos that attract a lot of audience attention to your studio's activities. This way you can gradually establish work with traditional distribution channels for films (TV, cinemas, etc.).
