SCENE 01 / PRODUCTION INSURANCE

Production Insurance

Comprehensive insurance solutions for film productions in France.

Scroll

Production insurance guards against the money risks built into film work. It covers gear damage, location liability, cast illness, errors and omissions, workers' compensation, and third-party claims. Most vendors, locations, and buyers want proof of cover before your shoot can start.

We set up production insurance through brokers who know film and TV cover. Our team studies your risk profile and builds full policies that meet vendor needs, location rules, and delivery terms. The result is real money protection that travels with your shoot.

On Location

Production insurance built for French shooting conditions

French production insurance carries details that off-the-shelf global policies miss. Responsabilité civile professionnelle is required for nearly every shoot, and employer liability is a must under the Code du travail. Prefectoral location permits in Paris and Lyon often ask for public liability limits above standard global levels. We work with expert entertainment brokers such as Filhet-Allard, Gras Savoye, and the global markets in London. They bind cast, negative and media, props and sets, errors and omissions, and gear cover. Each policy meets vendor riders from Panavision, RVZ, and TSF, plus TV network delivery needs.

Placement turns around inside forty-eight hours. Certificates of insurance reach location owners or distributors within twenty-four hours of binding. We reissue a COI for each new Paris arrondissement, château, or musée nationale on the schedule. We scope workers compensation, car fleet cover for grip trucks moving between regions, and stunt riders for action units against your real risk profile, not a generic package. We run claims from incident report through insurer backing, which keeps production rolling while the paperwork resolves. This holds true across more than five hundred insured shoots and a hundred million euros of placed cover.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What insurance do I need for filming in France?

The basics are public liability, gear cover, and often cast insurance. Our team reviews your shoot and then suggests full cover, which can add workers compensation, car insurance, and E&O as needed.

How quickly can you arrange insurance?

We can place standard production packages within 24-48 hours. Complex shoots or special cover may need a bit more time. Certificates of insurance reach you within 24 hours of binding.

Does French production insurance differ from other countries?

France has its own rules, with employer liability cover required and higher public liability limits at some locations. Our team makes sure every policy meets French law.

How do you handle claims?

We manage the whole claim for you, from first reporting to records help and backing with insurers. The aim is a fast outcome that barely disrupts your shoot.
