About This Video
You may have never had to buy insurance before, but now that you are embarking on a film project, you should. Not only is insurance necessary for the physical production, but it can also protect the film against copyright and defamation claims. Many festivals require that you have Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance to protect themselves from liability. Don’t know what E&O insurance is? Need to understand the different types of insurance that your film will need? What if you’re filming outside of the United States? What are the risks to your film while in production vs. after distribution?
In this video, Seth Cohen and Bob Jellen from HUB International will start with a 30-minute presentation, on insurance for documentaries, during which all of the above questions will be answered. IDA members get an exclusive special discount through HUB International, so this is a closed-session opportunity for Members to get to know the company and how to access their resources. The second part of the session will include a 30-minute audience Q&A.
