This is a great insurance policy to save you time and money if you anticipate multiple projects in the next 12 months.
Excludes*:
- Feature Length or Theatrical/Television Release over $150,000 budget
- Television Series or Episodes
- Productions with shooting periods +90 Days
(*unless specifically endorsed and in some cases an additional premium applies)
- A DICE policy provides prearranged coverage for a year for your office and all of your productions--except for features and series with budgets over $150,000.
- We will give you blank certificates for the year, allowing you to lock locations and rent equipment on the fly.
- General Liability is less expensive with an annual policy as you only pay for it once per year and it covers all of your projects in a 12 month period. Less work and cost than arranging coverage for each of your projects.

Canadian DICE Production Insurance Package Costs:
- A deposit premium starts at under $2,000 (subject to change)
- Your Final Gross Productions Costs for all productions undertaken during the term of the policy are reported to the Company within 30 days following the expiration or termination of coverage.
- The Annual Earned Premium is computed by applying the rate per $100 of actual gross production costs established at the inception date of the policy.
- Premiums can be financed over the year to help your cash flow.
- Rating will vary based on the Film/Video ratio, types of productions and number of annual productions estimated.
- General Liability coverage (to cover locations against property damage or bodily injury caused by your crew) is extra. For example, a $2,000,000 limit would cost $750 annually; a $500,000 limit costs $1,000 annually.
