What
type of insurance and what amounts are required for a shoot in Asia?
Prices and coverage vary
depending on the size of the project, type of filming, length of time of
principal photography, equipment needs, etc. Each project is different,
and we can customize coverage to your specific needs. No project is too
big or small.

fund-raiser it is, there is a very good chance you will want to cover your
organizations activities against potential accidents.

with your budget for the project, the script or synopsis, shooting schedule, and
biography on principals. We will then discuss your project with you,

short term, particularly features, TV specials and pilots, and coverage is
issued accordingly.

In short term policies, the
premium must be paid in full at inception of coverage. Annual policies can
be financed with an easy payment plan.
Should
I get quotes from several agents for my film project?
You
are welcome to shop around yourself if you have the time. However, we are
expert independent agents and a part of our service is to go into the
marketplace and "shop" for the rates and coverages on your behalf,
saving you the time, expense, and effort.
