Скачать или смотреть Locations Permits & Insurance: What You Need to Know

If you’re producing without permits or proper insurance, you’re not being scrappy — you’re being reckless.

In this video, we break down what permits and production insurance actually do, why they matter, and how locations quietly protect (or destroy) your shoot behind the scenes. This is essential knowledge for producers, location assistants, unit PAs, and anyone trying to move from DIY filmmaking into professional, hireable territory.

You’ll learn:
• What film permits really cover (and what they don’t)
• When permits are required — and when they’re not
• The difference between general liability, workers’ comp, and additional insureds
• How insurance protects your locations, crew, and production company
• Why “we’ll just be quick” is not a real strategy
• How permits and insurance affect budgets, schedules, and shutdown risk

Locations aren’t vibes.
Locations are infrastructure.

If you want calm sets, clean days, and repeat work — this is non-negotiable.
