Anyone who works in TV or film will know how important media insurance is. HDI-Gerling, one of Germany’s leading film insurers, is an expert in the industry’s special requirements and has been a skilled and reliable partner to broadcasters, film and TV producers as well as event organisers, for more than 40 years.

The many risks which a film or TV production involves also include that a project may not be completed on time or, in the worst case, not completed at all – due either to financial or other reasons. This may be a disaster for producers but it’s no problem for HDI-Gerling. The specialist insurer has made provisions for this with a special film completion insurance, the Completion Bond, which it offers, from NRW, not only in Germany but also throughout the whole of Europe.
On the basis of a detailed risk analysis, the Completion Bond guarantees investors, who see their invested capital at risk, that the production will be completed within the given time and budget. If the budget is exceeded, the extra costs will be refunded and, if a production is cancelled, even all the investments.

Tailor-made security

The scope of in-house insurance and tailor-made solutions is considerable. The film complete protection, for example, tailor-made to the needs of film and television productions, offers a special cover with comprehensive insurance protection for all the risks involved in a film or TV production and effectively combines cast insurance, film equipment insurance, image and sound recording insurance, film equipment insurance as well as film props and production cash insurance.
Many film and television producers have been using the services of this specialist insurer for already many years.

The HDI Gerling Insurance Group offers the entire range of tailor-made insurance solutions for all risks encountered by a film production, such as film and event contingency insurance or completion bonds, and it provides insurance against a variety of risks for entertainment events and film productions with additional services such as production advisory services/support and risk management. HDI-Gerling, one of the market leaders for industrial insurance in Germany, is represented in over 20 countries throughout the world. With a premium volume of 5.9 billion euros, the HDI-Gerling insurance group is one of the leading insurers for industry on the market.
