Media & Film Production Insurance

Specialist protection for Media & Film Risks

Productions bring together people, locations, equipment and significant financial commitments, often under tight schedules and across multiple territories. When something unexpected happens, the consequences can extend well beyond a single day on set.

United Risk Partners provides insurance for film, television, advertising, documentary and other media productions, from individual shoots to complex international schedules. We work with producers, studios and underwriters to structure cover around the production and its specific exposures.

Who we support:

  • Film and television productions
  • Commercial and advertising shoots
  • Documentary productions
  • Production companies and studios
  • International and location-based productions
  • Producers and production teams
  • High-profile talent and entertainment projects

What we cover

Every production has its own combination of people, assets, locations and deadlines. We structure cover around those dependencies, with access to specialist markets when a production presents something outside the ordinary.

Production All Risks

Protection for production equipment, sets, props, locations and other physical assets against loss or damage during filming.

Cast, Crew & Essential Element

Protection for cast and crew personal accident, as well as essential elements such as key people, locations, animals or props whose loss could disrupt a production.

Non-Appearance, Death & Disgrace

Cover for losses arising from the non-appearance, death, injury or disgrace of key talent, helping protect the substantial costs committed to a production.

Errors & Omissions

Protection against claims involving defamation, intellectual property infringement, copyright and other media-related liabilities, including associated legal costs.

Cancellation, Abandonment & Weather

Cover for cancellation, postponement or abandonment, including disruption caused by adverse weather and other events outside the production’s control.
