Specialist Insurance for Film Production Companies
Film production work can involve a combination of technical equipment, production crews, location filming, tight schedules and contractual obligations. As a result, the insurance arrangements for production companies often need to reflect a variety of operational risks.
Insurers will typically want to understand the type of productions undertaken, the equipment values involved, the number of crew engaged, whether filming takes place on location and the contractual requirements of clients or commissioners.
Presenting this information clearly can help insurers assess the production properly and provide suitable terms.
