In the new year I am looking to shoot a short film. I heard that I should probably get insurance (Gear/liability). I did a little research online and found a company called Film Emporium. Has anyone used them? Their website is http://www.filmemporium.com. Thanks!

I shot a short film not to long ago and used the ARRI SR2. Great camera! We had to get insurance not only to cover the camera, but in order to get a permit to shoot in a state park. I ended up contacting Film Emporium to get insurance. they had a package where I got coverage for the gear and liability to satisfy the permit office. Quick and painless. I recommend checking them out. www.FilmEmporium.com

Its a topic that people seem to be afraid to talk about but it something every filmmaker should be familiar with. I have done a little research to get people started. I found a couple of good websites of companies that sell the stuff but also have a great wealth of information. I encourage all filmmakers reading this to check it out. If you are going to shoot any kind of film in the future you will need insurance to do so. When not educate yourself now? www.FilmEmporium.com www.EntertainmentInsuranceBroker.com
