Getting ready to work with several individuals on getting a grant to make a short film for the state of IL and wanted to know if anyone had a straight answer on how much getting the copyrights for the script and movie etc would run me?

Basic copyright registration online is $ 35. By mail is $ 50. Legal firms can do it but may charge you several hundred. You don’t need to file for a copyright in the US because US copyright law states that any original work put in a tangible medium is protected automatically by copyright. However, it is always a good idea to file in order to prove you are the copyright holder and that you made the work first.
