Production Insurance

Here is how this works in practice. We arrange the production insurance a shoot needs and manage cover from pre-production through wrap. Our team assesses the risks specific to each project — gear, public and employer's liability, cast cover, errors and omissions, car and location damage — and works with insurers to put fitting policies in place. Filming in the Netherlands frequently needs proof of insurance before access is granted: cities issuing filming permits, owners of canal houses and heritage sites, and operators of today's landmarks all expect to see public liability cover, and we make sure policies meet those thresholds.

Here is how this works in practice. Insurance is closely tied to the production's health-and-safety planning and its contractual indemnities, so we keep all three aligned. Because the country is in the EU. The Eurozone, cover can be structured in euros within a familiar rules, and records is handled in English.

Here is the short of it. Good insurance planning depends on knowing the risks a Dutch production actually faces. The temperate, windy maritime climate makes weather a real factor for exterior schedules, and water-adjacent work along the canals, polders and the Wadden Sea carries its own exposures. Pro activities — drone and aerial work under ILT oversight, stunts, night shoots — need cover tied to the risk, and we plan that with the production. Where insurance records involves personal data, GDPR and the oversight of the Dutch data-protection authority apply.

Here is the short of it. Funders such as the Netherlands Film Fund and TV networks including NPO will expect evidence of adequate cover as a condition of funding. Errors-and-omissions cover is often needed by distributors before release. We keep certificates today's, schedules accurate and claims handled promptly, so insurance protects the production without becoming an obstacle to it.
