The Entertainment Insurance Story

Another life saved due to Filmins.com Entertainment Insurance for Film / Movie Productions.

Bill Finch thought he had his life all figured out. He was going to be one of the best stuntmen in all of Hollywood until he met an accident during a film shooting in Canada.

The scene was basically a routine shot of him jumping off a building while being held by a harness. Like how most accidents go, a job that was carelessly done cost Bill more than a few a broken bones. The harness apparently was not tied securely enough to him, and Bill ended up falling from the building in mid distance from point A to point B– from a five-storey building.

You can say ouch, but the fact is, Bill got more than broken bones, he actually endured months of painful physical therapy for both legs, with no income coming into his bank account to boot; movie stuntmen are usually paid on a per project basis. Now for any man of lesser stuff, the accident would have caused so much anguish with little or no hope for recovery.

Thankfully for Bill, the movie production was insured from the very beginning, even before shooting started. Bill found to his relief that the cost of treating his injury was paid for by the movie’s insurance provider – FilmsIn.com, which is one of the many sources of film entertainment movie insurance. Bill was compensated too for the time that he could not get a job because of his injuries. 

Entertainment insurance is very much a part of the entertainment industry as the art of celebrity making itself. In fact, it is the backbone of the entertainment industry since no film producer will ever have a movie made without insuring his investments against all forms of artist liabilities, including workers’ injuries to their compensation.

Depending on the film genre, film productions can be just as risky as the riskiest occupations there are. And if you plan on building a career in the film industry, make sure that any project you take on is covered by film entertainment movie insurance.
