Producers, what happens when your plans go wrong, flights get cancelled, the photographer breaks their arm and a key piece of camera equipment is damaged the day before the shoot. We hope you never have to face any of those eventualities but it’s vital to be prepared.
At Williamson Carson we offer a number of production covers that protect you should the worst happen.
A standard Media Production Policy primarily covers reshoot costs should you experience the non-appearance of the director or photographer and essential crew due to death, accident or sickness. It would also cover non-appearance of essential equipment and props, sets & wardrobe due to loss, theft or damage. A Media Production Policy will also cover public liability and employers’ liability to protect you in instances of injuries on set or damage caused to third party property.
Commercial Producers Policy provides broader cover, offering reshoot costs that extends to the non-appearance of the director, photographer, equipment, props, sets & wardrobe to non-appearance due to anything beyond your control. A Commercial Producers policy would include such things as travel delays caused by adverse weather or airline strikes or cancellation. A Commercial Producers Policy includes public & employers liability, any equipment or props used for the shoot and reshoot costs under the following sections:
You choose from an annual production or one-off package, depending on your requirements.
Annual production insurance packages go beyond liability and equipment insurance, and also include reshoot costs and additional expenses for your annual production budget.
One-off production packages can be adapted to cover a specific production. These packages provide equipment insurance, liability, and reshoot costs. We can also provide one off commercial producers indemnity policies as required by brands and agencies.
