Frequently Asked Questions

What is film production insurance?

Film, TV and video production is complex and filled with risks, from injuries on the set to equipment failure or damage, to delays in shooting schedules that can raise liability exposures. In a worst-case scenario, losses that rise against budget limitations can even put the production’s completion in doubt. Film, TV and Video Production Insurance can help protect your production if it’s impacted by losses related to those risks.

Who needs film production insurance?

Almost every kind of production faces some level of risk exposure, whether it’s a feature film, a television program, an industrial film made for corporate meetings, a commercial, a documentary or even an ambitious student film. If you have significant resources invested, both in financial and personnel terms, you may need specific coverages tailored to accidents and injuries on the set, incidents involving drivers, production-related travel and much more.
