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 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 entertainment insurance, Movie Insure has the solutions.
Here is a short overview of coverage you might consider:
Rented Equipment
Owned Equipment
Cast Coverage
Props, Sets, and Wardrobe
Negative & Faulty Stock
Third-Party Property Damage
Extra Expense
General Liability
Automobile Liability and Physical Damage
Workers Compensation
Once a documentary is finished, the next step is normal distribution. Most distributors will require the production company to 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.
