In this issue of “Equipment & Production News” we’re focused upon protecting you against a tragic circumstance that can happen on any set; the death of an actor.
|
"Cast Extra Expense" insurance protects your production against the possibility of it happening. It complements Workers' Comp, which is required by law. Workers' Compensation covers the cost of the medical bills if your actors are injured on set, but Cast Extra takes care of the money lost while the crew waits for recovery. In other words, Workers’ Comp covers their expenses and Cast Extra Expense covers yours.
|
Look, I know this is a difficult conversation to broach, but reality is that you have to protect your interests in the event of an unfortunate situation. Please connect with myself or a member of my team for further dialogue about Cast Extra Expense coverage.

We look forward to hearing from you.
