Stormsafe, a bespoke hurricane and windstorm product, has been developed for the Louisiana film industry by JLT Risk Solution’s specialist Sport and Entertainment Practice.
Key features are:
- property damage (including damage/destruction of sets, props and wardrobes, and death, accident or injury to cast members)
- third party liability (for film equipment causing injury to members of the public)
- extra expense/loss of production time due to forced evacuation.
Jonathan Cole, Partner, JLT Sport says
'With the quantity of films now made in Louisiana, and the fear of further hurricanes/ windstorms this year, this product will give everyone involved in the film industry increased protection against uncertainty.
Standard 'Film Production' coverages do not offer protection against hurricane/ windstorm losses during the windstorm season in Louisiana, which in turn means film production companies have no financial protection in the event of disruption to filming patterns/destruction of property. Stormsafe allows film producers to focus their efforts on filmmaking, and removes the financial uncertainty that currently prevails.'
