Start with how the business operates
Film, TV, and video production insurance should follow the project from development and pre-production through principal photography, post-production, distribution, and wrap. Coverage may be structured for a short-term single production or an annual schedule of multiple productions. The review should identify production budget and term, cast, crew, locations, equipment, vehicles, certificates and contract requirements, travel territory, stunts, sets, rented property, media, and the financial consequences of delay or cancellation.
Industry risks to discuss
- Cast or crew injury, third-party injury, location damage, production interruption, and extra expense
- Owned or rented cameras, lighting, sound, sets, props, wardrobe, negative or faulty stock, and third-party property
- Vehicles, drones, stunts, animals, precision driving, pyrotechnics, water scenes, weapons, travel, media allegations, cyber events, and errors or omissions
Coverage priorities
- Production general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability and physical damage, and umbrella or excess
- Owned and rented production equipment, props, sets, wardrobe, negative or faulty stock, third-party property, and extra expense where available
- Cast extra expense, errors and omissions, travel or volunteer accident, cyber, crime, and specialized production-interruption coverage where appropriate
Prepare a Complete Industry Submission
- Describe every service, product, location, and source of revenue
- Use current property, payroll, sales, fleet, equipment, and inventory schedules
- Explain losses, material changes, and completed corrective action
- Identify contracts, customers, landlords, lenders, or regulators that influence coverage decisions
