  • The Straight To DVD Screenwriter - Screenplay is a reference to a script for full-length movie. In times past, full-length movies were always distributed to and shown in movie theaters.

A marketing budget for a film being shown in theaters can reach thirty million dollars without much difficulty, and can go far higher than that.
