You Really Can Produce the TV Series of a High Quality for $20.000 an Episode. But Only One Title

This was said by Vlad Ryashin, the founder and general producer of Star Media, during Television as Business conference held in the course of the V international media forum KYIV MEDIA WEEK. Considering that Ukrainian media groups can not spend more than $20.000 for 1 hour of original product, it is almost impossible to make TV series of a high quality. 

You do really can produce one title with $20.000 for an episode. But only one. And just in case of a concatenation of circumstances. Lots of them. Otherwise, you will get a television soap opera, said Vlad Ryashin.

Our viewer is spoiled with very good content: produced by the FILM.UA group The Sniffer had a budget of $200.000 for an episode, and Mata Hari by Star Media needs much more – about $1 mln. The tax rebate initiative could be the way out.
