For anything with a niche target audience - sure.
You're not going to have multiple locations, good actors, good writing, good composition, quality cinematography, etc - unless you're incredibly talented and not counting how much your time is actually worth.
Films for a wide audience these days basically require - at a minimum - 6 specialists working for a month of shooting. Plus 5+ actors.
The absolute minimum that costs in labor - if you actually counted the value of your time - is ~$200k+.
A good script itself is worth well over $100k...
Realistically - it's almost impossible to make something with wide appeal for less than $2m in the US - or $1m internationally.
