Home » Annual single film project policy
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:
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:
| Feature | Short-Term Productions | Production Portfolio | DICE / Annual Productions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | Single small projects | Mid-to-high budget single projects | Multiple projects per year |
| Budget Range | Up to $1M | $1M – $15M | Varies by annual volume |
| Duration | Up to 60 days | Up to 12 months | Full year |
| Structure | Per-project | Annual single-project | Annual multi-project |
| Best Use Case | Indie shorts, music videos | Ambitious features & limited series | Busy production companies |
| Certificate Issuance | Per project | Streamlined for full term | Ongoing throughout the year |
The Production Portfolio hits the sweet spot for mid-to-high budget single projects that exceed short-term limits but don’t require complex studio-level policies. It provides extended timeline flexibility, higher coverage limits, and robust protection without the administrative burden of multiple short-term policies.
MovieInsure’s Production Portfolio is widely regarded as one of the best-value options for substantial independent productions.
