'The only safe thing is to take a chance' and 'If you're not failing every now and then it's a sign you are not doing anything very innovative' — a couple of pithy quotes from great directors that sum up the central paradox of any creative pursuit. You need to take risks to be any good, but to be any good you need to accept the possibility of failure, and failure can sometimes be good.
That's where we come in.
Whether you are a videographer, a production company making promos or online content, or a producer of TV and Films for global distribution, Eggar Forrester Creative will be able to find you the most suitable film equipment and film production insurance covers, so you can get on with doing what you do best.
From Film Producers' Indemnity Insurance to Public Liability Insurance and Employers Liability Insurance, we can have you covered.
What is Film Production Insurance?
Film production insurance, sometimes referred to as simply film insurance, is designed to protect filmmakers from certain liabilities related to film production. A comprehensive film insurance policy can extend from protecting rented and owned equipment from loss or damage, through to protecting producers and employers against unexpected accidents, injuries, interruptions and cancellations that may happen during a shoot.
Film production insurance packages can be tailored to each unique project. However, regardless of whether it's a year-long feature film shoot or a week-long promo shoot, it's always important to obtain cover so you can go ahead and create without fear. We work with clients in London and across the UK.
Film Producers Indemnity Insurance
Cover for additional costs incurred by interruption, cancellation, abandonment or re-scheduling of a production.
Public Liability Insurance
Accidents happen, particularly on fast-paced, ever-changing sets and locations, and where people and their property are at risk, a split second lapse in concentration could end up costing you dearly, so it's always sensible to have public liability in place.
Film Equipment Insurance
From cameras to sound equipment, we will work with you to create a cover that makes sure all the equipment that is vital to your business running is looked after — at home, in the studio, or out on location.
Videographer Insurance
Perhaps you're a videographer that works freelance filming weddings, music videos, or corporate events. We will work with you to create a video production insurance package that is tailored to your needs, which could involve professional indemnity and public liability cover, but could also extend to any other area you identify.
Media & TV Production Insurance
No matter your size, whether a freelancer, sole trader, a partnership, or a limited company, we'll ensure you have the correct insurance to get the project done. All production companies wanting permission to do commercial photography or film will need public liability insurance.
All shoots and productions vary greatly, so a rigid blanket model won't work effectively for insurance. We'll work with you to understand your needs and find a solution that takes into account the difficulties within your industry.
