Production Insurance

Here is the short of it. We arrange production insurance for projects shooting in Belgium, setting up the cover a production needs — gear, cast, public and employer liability, errors and omissions, and location and property cover — with brokers and insurers familiar with the audiovisual sector. Our team makes sure policies match the needs of the Belgian Tax Shelter financiers and the regional funds, the VAF, Screen Flanders, Wallimage and screen.brussels. This expect shoots to be well insured before funding is released.

Here is how that works. Premiums and limits are handled in euros. Because Belgium is a founding EU member inside the single market, cover for crew and gear moving between EU countries is straightforward. We review location agreements and permit conditions from the regional film offices to confirm that insurance meets what each contract and authority demands.

Here is the breakdown. Insurance planning in Belgium accounts for the practical risks of the shoot. The temperate maritime climate — frequent rain, slippery conditions, short winter daylight — raises exposure that weather and backup cover can address. Filming in covered UNESCO settings such as the Grand-Place or the historic centre of Bruges calls for property and liability cover scaled to heritage value. And shoots in the forested Ardennes or on the North Sea coast bring location-specific hazards.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. In practice, the work is hands-on. Drone work, regulated by the Belgian civil aviation authority under EU/EASA rules, needs its own liability cover. Data handling falls under GDPR and the Belgian data-protection authority, the APD/GBA. This informs errors-and-omissions considerations. We make sure shoots reach the shoot day fully and correctly insured, with records that satisfies financiers, location owners and authorities alike.
