Production Insurance

Here is how this works in practice. We arrange production insurance for shoots across the UAE, working with local and global brokers skilled in Gulf film coverage. Our team structures policies covering gear, cast, negative and media, third-party liability, errors and omissions, and crew, and we make sure coverage meets UAE needs. This includes the required medical insurance that federal law needs for all workers.

Here is the short of it. Permit conditions from the Abu Dhabi Film Commission via twofour54. The Dubai Film and TV Commission frequently specify liability cover and indemnities, specific for filming at state-controlled landmarks such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, and we align policies with those needs. We check the specific risks of a UAE shoot, from extreme summer heat and dust affecting gear to the hazards of desert and aerial work, and we set up certificates of insurance fast so prep and permitting stay on schedule.

Here is the breakdown. The UAE has insured shoots across an unusually wide risk profile. 'Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol' carried coverage for the Burj Khalifa climb, 'Furious 7' insured the Etihad Towers stunt, and '6 Underground', 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and both 'Dune' films needed cover for large units operating in remote desert terrain in the Liwa region and the Empty Quarter.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We draw on that experience to expect exposure, structuring policies that satisfy completion bonds and global distributors while keeping premiums competitive. For shoots working through the Dubai Studio City and Dubai Media City free zones or co-producing with Image Nation Abu Dhabi, we manage the full insurance lifecycle, from placement and certificate issue through claims support, so a single incident never derails the schedule.
