As with other industries, the Entertainment business has unique and unusual risks associated with it. Motion Pictures and Television Productions are very expensive to produce and each one has its own special needs and challenges. However, unlike other industries, once a production is completed, there will never be another like it.
HCC Specialty Underwriters and cineFinance are leaders in the industry. Together, we are one of the few companies in the world that can provide total coverage for Film Production Insurance and Completion Bonds. Our team has a long and dedicated history in the business and has experience in dealing with thousands of productions.
We distinguish ourselves by finding positive solutions to the challenges posed by working with high-level, demanding international filmmakers and productions. We are adept at servicing studios, large-scale pictures, and films that involve complex financing and/or distribution arrangements, as well as more modest conventional co-productions.
Unlike our competitors, we have the ability to address many of the exposures that are often excluded under standard policies:
Worried about filming in adverse weather conditions? Not a problem. We are one of the largest underwriters of Weather Insurance in the world.
A key person is critical to the production? We can cover them, without a medical exam for a specific period of time with our Critical Asset Protection product.
The Star of your film ends up on the cover of every tabloid after an embarrassing incident and you’re worried how distributors and ultimately the box office will react? Our Image Protection Insurance is a unique product that can guard against these types of incidents that may affect your bottom line.
You’ve won the rights to broadcast the big fight, worldwide athletic competition or rock concert via satellite. What happens if there’s an interruption with the signal right in the middle of the event? Our Transmission Interruption coverage will protect you for the lost revenue that may arise out of such an incident.
Want help in promoting your film? Our Promotion department can create buzz and excitement by creating unique campaigns through various prize incentives and games. Whether it be through your website, mobile phones or working with any product placement or sponsors attached to the production, we can be a valuable resource to the promotional component of the film.
Worried about other potential costs not covered by traditional cast insurance? Contingent Buy-Back Coverage covers extra expenses incurred by the production company due to delay, interruption or abandonment of the production not ordinarily included in the Cast Insurance policy.
