Anyone have any recommendations for insurance? What companies have you used?
Cool. I'll consider it. I'm going to work on my LLC after i shoot my two shorts.I think so it's been awhile though. You may want to look into insuring a production company and buying yearly if you plan to shoot a lot.
Idk. It's a perk to pay the yearly membership fee of $150.Pretty much, they are all resellers of the same insurance giant. You want them accessible though imo. Say you are on set somewhere and you don't have a copy. You can call them and have them fax it to who needs it. So I went with the A&E they were always reachable, friendly, and good price.
400 sounds very reasonable for short term, that is 1 week right? I forget how it goes.
Sounds sweet but are the coverages same? A videographer useless doesn't have to have coverage for cast and crew, I assume. We're talking access to locations not uselessly on the market and possible damages. Idk. I assume that's where the extra money goes.Figured it out. Getting PHOTOGRAPHER / VIDEOGRAPHER Insurance. Same 2 million general liability for 1/3 of what these "short term entertainment" policies go for. And that's for a WHOLE YEAR coverage.
Funny how insurance works, they charge what people are willing to pay for the same general liability coverage. photographhers and videographers are apparently not willing to pay hundreds of dollars like someone trying to ensure a "production". I can now work on many productions and always have coverage.

@indietalk is $400 a great deal in Miami for a $1M insurance? This filmmaking group I want to join offers it to filmmaker and producer members.
