Documentaries come in many forms. Some take years to shoot and produce, while others may only take a few months. No matter how big or small, having the proper production insurance for your documentary can be one of the most important things you can have. All the activities associated with filming a documentary bring unique risks that should be insured. And when it comes to movie insurance, Movie Insure has the solutions.
Here is a short overview of coverage you might consider:
- Rented Equipment
- Owned Equipment
- Props, Sets and Wardrobe
- Third Party Property Damage
- Extra Expense
- General Liability
- Automobile Liability and Physical Damage
- Workers Compensation
Once a documentary is finished, the next step is distribution. Most distributors will require the production company obtain an Errors and Omissions policy on the production. If you are a distributor, you should always carry your own E&O policy, in addition to requiring each of the productions you distribute to be covered. When purchasing your insurance policies, it is once again important to remember that the amount of coverage you purchase is wholly dependent upon the type of project on which you are working.
