Filming and Set Operations Insurance

You’ve put so much time into your final product. Make sure it’s protected.

Whether your product is a feature film, television production, webcast, podcast, industrial training or an educational project, you’re going to need insure against the risk of destruction and loss.

Broadly speaking, most production companies have a variety of tangible elements to cover. These tangibles include people, locations, equipment, props, sets, wardrobe, vehicles and the media containing the already captured images. It’s not limited to tangibles, though. Something many producers overlook is the protection of intangibles, like intellectual property. Properly insuring the ideas behind your work is one of the most effective ways to protect what you’ve created.
