Film & Media

Nothing is impossible ...

...unfortunately, this includes a camera malfunction, the director suffering from food poisoning, or the loss of the main subject due to unpredictable weather. The shoot is delayed, additional costs arise, and the team becomes anxious – none of this was in the script. Even when the footage is in the can, unforeseen events can still occur: during transport, at the lab, or during data backup.

In the exciting world of film, where creativity and innovation are paramount, it is essential to consider unexpected challenges. This is where film insurance comes into play – a crucial component to protect your projects and give you the freedom to focus on what matters most: bringing your vision to life.

Why Film Insurance?

Whether you are working on a small short film, a major cinema production, or a commercial – risks can lurk everywhere. Unforeseen events such as weather changes, technical failures, or health issues within the team can significantly impact the course of your production. Film insurance not only protects your financial investments but also ensures that you are well-prepared in crisis situations.

The Benefits at a Glance:

1. Financial Security: With film insurance, you minimise the risk of financial losses due to unexpected incidents. This allows you to work with peace of mind, without constantly worrying about potential risks.
2. Protection for Equipment and Location: Your technical equipment and chosen filming locations are valuable. Film insurance covers damages or losses, so you are not left with high costs in case of an incident.
3. Liability Protection: Accidents can happen – especially during shoots that often take place in public spaces. Liability insurance protects you from third-party claims and ensures that you are well-covered in case of an incident.
4. Flexibility and Adaptability: We offer bespoke insurance solutions tailored to your specific needs. Whether you have a small team or a large crew, we will find the right solution for you.
