The global film industry is projecting healthy gains with forecasts set to increase from $38 billion in 2016 to more than $50 billion by 2020. One thing that many do not realize is that insurance is needed before any filmmaker can say ‘Lights, camera, action.’ This continues beyond box office movies and is the case with commercials, music videos, and television programs as well.

Knowing exactly which coverage is needed based on varying situations is the job of an experienced insurance broker. Retail brokers and agents should lean on experts with extensive knowledge of the film, television and media industry to educate themselves and ensure their clients have comprehensive coverage for their next take.
