Film Shoot Insurance (No Stunts): Coverage, Cost and Same-Day Guide

A film shoot without stunts includes dialogue scenes, interviews, commercials or music videos where no falls, fights or vehicle action are planned. Producers should describe every scene carefully, confirm how bystander injuries and location damage may be handled, and check whether crew injuries or rented gear need separate coverage.

Which guide answers my question?

Which activities should the application describe?

Insurers price and review film shoot insurance (no stunts) from the activity plan, not the event name. Describe who is responsible for each of these arrangements:

  • Describe the film shoot's scenes and preserve the prohibition on stunt exposure.
  • Identify performers, crew and any action requiring closer classification review.
  • Coordinate sets and scene changes without assuming the no-stunts label authorizes all filming.

What kind of claim is this insurance for?

Suppose a bystander watching the outdoor shoot is hit when a boom pole swings as the crew resets a scene and alleges that the production company caused the injury. That is the kind of third-party claim event liability insurance may address, subject to the policy terms. If a scene drifts into stunt work that the no-stunts classification excludes, you may need a separate coverage option; ordinary event liability is not automatically the answer.

What should I have ready for a quote?

  • The legal name of the production company who will be the named insured.
  • Event dates, setup and teardown times, the venue address and expected daily attendance.
  • The venue contract or permit, including any certificate and additional insured wording it requires.
  • Whether alcohol is served, sold or brought by guests, and who serves it.
  • Hired vendors, performers and equipment rentals, and any activity beyond the list above.
