Producers' Indemnity Insurance

Get a Quote

Producers Indemnity, also known as Production Cover, will protect your production budget from losses due to the injury, illness or death of cast members, or for the delay or abandonment of a shoot due to circumstances beyond your control.

What is covered by Producers Indemnity insurance?

Producers Indemnity is designed to protect the budget of your production, should you need alternative shooting dates or to abandon the project entirely. For example, if a location you will be shooting at is destroyed in the days leading up to a shoot, causing you delays and additional expense in finding alternative locations, your production company is covered. Or alternatively, if a lead actor in the production is taken ill, and the production dates need to be pushed back, you will be covered.

In the event of a claim, the policy will pay out for either the additional expenditure incurred to complete the production or, in the case of abandonment, you will be compensated for the expenditure already incurred.

We offer bespoke cover for most sectors within the television, film and media industries, with annual and short-period options available.
