Foreign Production Insurance
Traveling to a foreign country presents some logistical, social, and legal issues that should be thought through prior to travel. Traveling with a cast and crew to a foreign country to film a movie, compounds all those logistics. There are a number of things to consider; one of which is Foreign Production Insurance. Consider these risk factors:
- Each country has its own laws, rules and guidelines- We always recommend that you investigate these and develop your plans accordingly.
- Cultural concerns- Not all countries have the same cultural norms as the U.S. Educate the cast and crew on the major cultural differences. Knowing these can go a long way to preventing legal and liability issues. Something as simple as knowing the traffic laws can prevent and or reduce liability to the production company.
- If you are filming in a foreign county we recommend you purchase a Foreign Production Insurance policy. The coverage typically provides:
- Foreign Liability coverage
- Foreign contingent Non-Owned & Hired Auto coverage – Non-Owned & Hired auto coverage (for rented vehicles) is provided on a contingent basis (providing coverage over local primary coverage)
- Foreign Workers’ Compensation/Employers Liability insurance
- Props, sets and wardrobe
- Negative and faulty stock
