behind the scenes.
You know how much money and effort you invest in your productions. Every shot, every sound recording is crucial. Our insurance protects your work against any costs arising from the loss, damage or deterioration of audiovisual media. We cover you from the start of your shoot until you deliver your final cut, using either digital or magnetic media.
The demanding world of audiovisual production relies on people with unique talents. But sometimes, in the middle of a shoot, an unexpected event can affect a key actor, director or producer. We make sure that you’re not alone in dealing with this situation: our additional cover protects you against financial losses that arise if production needs to be paused or abandoned because a vital person has fallen ill, suffered an accident or died.
We protect you against financial losses arising where production has to be paused or abandoned in the event that the equipment or locations required by your production are unavailable because of a sudden unforeseen event.
This part of the policy protects your technical equipment, the backbone of your production. It covers the cost of repairing or replacing equipment if it is lost, becomes damaged, or simply deteriorates.
We cover the cost of repairing or replacing furniture, sets, costumes and props that you use or expect to use during the period of cover, in the event of loss, damage or deterioration.
We cover you against any personal injury or property damage suffered by third parties. Our additional hirer liability cover also protects you against damage to any specific buildings or locations involved in your set. So the only thing you have to worry about is delivering an excellent production.
We cover every step in your creative process. From storyboard to shoot – an intense phase that may involve various locations – and from post-production to final delivery of the film, our insurance is designed to meet all of your specific needs. We understand that each phase brings its own unique challenges and we’re committed to giving you the cover you need.

We even cover your rushes
When you’re working on a film project, rushes are some of your most valuable assets. If they’re lost, this can cause costly production delays and potentially compromise the whole project. At TSM, we understand the importance of these assets and provide specific insurance to protect them.
Yes, these risks can be covered by various sections of the policy, particularly “production cover”, which protects against talent and equipment being unavailable following a major unforeseen event (serious illness or accident, fire, water damage etc.), and “media” cover, which protects against the theft, destruction, loss or disappearance of recording media.
We reimburse you for the additional costs needed to continue production, or if you’ve had to abandon it, for the costs incurred until the time of the loss, based on the receipts and documentation you provide to us.
