Film, TV & Photo Production buyer questions
Can you cover a shoot with less than 48 hours' notice?+
Yes — we hold a same-week roster for productions. Call (530) 902-9390 by 5 p.m. the day before and we'll confirm a basecamp overnight officer for the next night, PPO number and COI in your inbox before wrap-out.
Do you carry weapons-armorer aware officers post-Rust?+
Yes. Our production-desk officers work under the armorer's authority, keep a written log of every prop-weapon handoff, and clear the scene when live rounds enter (they never do, but the log is your insurance carrier's proof).
Will you name our production company + streamer as additional insured?+
Standard practice. $2M/$4M GL, $1M auto, W-C, with your LLC and the network / streamer added by endorsement. Waiver of subrogation included.
