Production Portfolio: The Sweet Spot for Ambitious Mid-to-High Budget Productions

When your film, television, or media project has outgrown typical indie budgets but hasn’t reached full major studio scale, you need insurance that matches your ambition without unnecessary complexity. MovieInsure’s Production Portfolio is expertly designed for larger-scale independent and mid-budget productions with budgets ranging from $1,000,000 to $15,000,000 and project durations up to 12 months.

This annual single-project policy perfectly bridges the gap between short-term production insurance (typically limited to $1M budgets and 60-day shoots) and the highly customized, high-premium enterprise coverage required by major Hollywood studios. It delivers comprehensive, professional-grade protection at competitive premiums while preserving the fast turnaround, streamlined underwriting, and personalized service that independent producers have come to expect from MovieInsure.

Production Portfolio insurance is the ideal choice for:

  • Feature films with substantial budgets in the $2M–$15M range
  • Limited television series and multi-episode commitments
  • High-end documentary productions and docuseries
  • Major commercial campaigns with extended shooting schedules
  • Music videos featuring celebrity talent and elevated production values
  • Corporate and branded content with significant production budgets

The standout advantage of the Production Portfolio is its ability to support longer-duration projects (up to 12 months) with higher budget thresholds, all while offering the flexibility and efficiency modern producers need in today’s competitive entertainment landscape.

Selecting the right insurance product is crucial for balancing cost, coverage, and convenience. Here’s how the Production Portfolio compares:
