FRONT ROW EXPANDS TO FRANCE AND BELGIUM WITH NEW PARIS OFFICE

Canada's largest entertainment insurance broker now provides insurance for producers of film, TV and commercials in Belgium and France with the opening of our Paris office and the acquisition of Continental Média Assurances S.A.S., a specialized film insurance brokerage.

IS YOUR FILM PRODUCTION COVERED FOR LIABILITY

Commercial General Liability insurance protects you and your film production company against claims for bodily injury or property damage liability during your film shoot. When and why do you need it?

Crew members on any production should always be covered by workers' comp insurance. The risk of going without is too great. And, in most states and provinces, the film maker is obligated to provide coverage for any cast or crew that they hire. Find out how to ensure you're covered.

FILM EQUIPMENT OWNERS: YOU MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER A HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE POLICY

Could this happen to you? You arrive home to find your camera and other gear missing. You report the loss to your insurance broker under your homeowner's policy. The adjuster discovers you have credits on IMDB or elsewhere for various productions. Because you are hired with your gear as a part of your rate, your gear is now considered "commercial" equipment and not covered by your homeowner's policy. We have an affordable 5-minute solution including a $50 savings offer to avoid this costly situation.

Front Row's unique DIgiGear program provides owners of camera, sound and lighting equipment the opportunity to get quick quotes in 20 seconds and insure their gear online in less than five minutes, 365 days a year, 24/7. You'll save an estimated 30%, AND also receive a $50 discount.

ARE YOU COVERED FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT? WE CAN HELP

What is a copyright report and why as a producer do you need it? At Front Row, we recommend obtaining a copyright report on any book, play, or other work you are buying rights to, or for any script that was not written as a work for hire by the production company's own employees.

Did you know that E&O insurance is required for the sale and distribution of virtually every film or TV show in North America? And that it can protect you from astronomical claims?

OUR EXCLUSIVE SHORT SHOOT POLICY DELIVERS 30% SAVINGS FOR PRODUCERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS

Are you sure your gear and stock are covered? Short Shoot, our industry-first online camera insurance program, allows producers who own still photography gear the chance to get quick quotes and process policy documents in less than five minutes, 365 days a year, 24/7 - the insurance equivalent of 'point & shoot'.
