Film Production Insurance

FILM INSURANCE & FILM PRODUCTION INSURANCE

 

Things don't always go as planned on film sets, as anyone who has worked on one will attest to. Shoots are delayed, equipment is misplaced, and in some unfortunate circumstances, the crew suffers injuries. Producers obtain film production insurance for each production for these and a plethora of other reasons. However, because of complicated mandatory binding arbitration and insurance terms, figuring out whether you're looking at a terrific policy or not can frequently be confusing. We go over all you need to know about entertainment insurance in this post, along with some advice on how to negotiate the rules for your upcoming production.

Imagine this, you're on a set and it's all going well until... POOF!  The lights go out, the costumes go up in flames and if that isn't enough, your Actors leave or get injured.  Regardless of how well prepared you are before the film production starts, some events will inevitably still go wrong.  An essential tool for offsetting the expense of potential hazards that may arise before, during, or after your film project is film production insurance; also known as video production insurance. Even with small productions, without proper coverage, you will run the risk of being charged civilly or criminally or, you can be fined by the municipality where your film project will occur.  

 

Additionally, neglecting your cast and crew is never a good look. Despite the remote possibility of your actor catching fire, even the smallest productions aresusceptible to a number of minors, more frequent mishaps.

ELIGIBLE CLASSES

 

A single production is covered by short-term production insurance. This kind of film production insurance is obtained on a project-by-project basis and can cover as little as one day of production, regardless of whether you're filming a commercial or a movie. Individuals should seriously consider purchasing annual production insurance if they shoot numerous productions in a given year. Annual policies, as opposed to short-term production insurance, cover all of your productions during a calendar year, making them the best option for active production firms.

Short term film productions, annual documentary, industrial or educational films, commercial films for national television, film producers, production companies or student filmmakers.
