In Yakutia, without any support, a small, but very active and successful film industry has developed, where about 10-15 films are shot per year. A characteristic feature of "Sakhawood", as many began to call this industry, is a very unusual atmosphere of film works, their originality and depth. Interestingly, almost all of the work pays off commercially, largely due to the unprecedented low budgets - at the level of $30,000-60,000.
