Protect the continuity of film, tv & video production operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For film, tv & video production, recovery can depend on film, tv & video production operations, people, property, contracts, technology, vehicles, vendors, revenue, and the risks specific to the business, as well as timely access to people, data, equipment, suppliers, utilities, and customers.
Recovery dependencies to map
- Critical people, locations, equipment, utilities, systems, suppliers, and vendors
- Realistic repair, replacement, relocation, and revenue-recovery timelines
- Customer, employee, vendor, and stakeholder communications for the film, tv & video production operation
Values and timelines to test
- Property, equipment, inventory, and income values for the film, tv & video production operation
- Payroll, revenue, locations, vehicles, and other current exposure schedules
- Information supporting production general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability and physical damage, and umbrella or excess
- Information supporting owned and rented production equipment, props, sets, wardrobe, negative or faulty stock, third-party property, and extra expense where available
- Information supporting cast extra expense, errors and omissions, travel or volunteer accident, cyber, crime, and specialized production-interruption coverage where appropriate
Questions to resolve
- Operations or risks not fully disclosed for the film, tv & video production account
- Outdated values, classifications, limits, deductibles, or recovery assumptions
- Contractual requirements or critical dependencies not addressed by the insurance review
Frequently asked questions
Why can the recovery period exceed the repair period?
Permitting, equipment lead time, installation, testing, supplier delays, staffing, customer communication, and the return to normal revenue can continue after physical repairs are complete.
What should film, tv & video production review after a major change?
Locations, operations, values, payroll, vehicles, contracts, vendors, revenue, and controls should be revisited when the business changes materially rather than waiting automatically for renewal.
