Film Production Insurance
Working in film production, you can get general business insurance cover from any insurance broker. But there are good reasons for working with a specialist broker who understands the way you work and can provide specialist Film Production insurance for film-makers.
Film production involves some very specific insurance risks. Many non-specialist insurers have fixed (and inaccurate) ideas about the industry – charging high premiums to protect themselves against the perceived high costs of delays and over-runs, unsociable hours and “high-risk” activities.
Our specialist policy Production Portfolio covers all your insurance risks under a single contract - avoiding expensive duplication and administration. Exclusively available through La Playa, Production Portfolio is underwritten by Chubb Insurance - an award-winning company with first class underwriting knowledge and experience in this sector.
Production Portfolio covers include:
- Property: covers your own and hired-in equipment, computers and general office contents
- Business Interruption: protects income streams during physical and technological disruptions, and covers alternative hire and continuing hire charges
- Employers’ Liability, Public Liability and Product Liability Insurance: protecting your legal liability
- Money: fees, subsistence expenses
- Cast & Crew: covers extra expense incurred by the death, injury, sickness or kidnapping of an insured person
- Commercial Film Producers Indemnity: cover for additional costs incurred by interruption, cancellation, abandonment or re-scheduling of a production
- Negative, Film & Videotape: for extra expense incurred by loss of or damage to raw film or tape stock, exposed film, videotape, artwork & drawings and CGI software
- Props, Sets and Wardrobe: for loss or damage to props, sets, scenery, costumes, wardrobe and similar theatrical property
Other specialist insurance can also be arranged:

- Errors & Omissions Insurance: protects you in cases of libel, slander, breach of copyright, invasion of privacy, unauthorised use of trademarks and slogans
- Professional Indemnity: protects you against allegations of negligence, breach of duty or mismanagement
