ATTN - International Crews: Get Your Production Insurance in Order!

If you are a foreign film / photo production planning to work on location in the United States and / or more specifically, in the New York City area, you may or may not be aware that use of just about any private property, as well as many public venues and towns / municipalities (New York City included, for film / video) as a location will require you to provide proof of commercial liability insurance providing coverage of at least $2m US in the form of a certificate of insurance and naming same (property owner / venue / town or municipality) third-party additionally insured. These or similar conditions apply to many gear / equipment rental agreements as well.

Furthermore, any insurance you may have in your home country must provide coverage abroad and that coverage must be recognized and accepted by all parties involved in the United States.

Fear not, there are many insurance brokers nationwide in the U.S. that offer affordable short-term production insurance packages. The insurance company I usually work with was charging about $650 for a 14 day package last time I spoke with them.

Location Scouting Property Releases

An important part of the location scout / location manager / producer / director / photographer collective workflow is obtaining a property release or location agreement, which is written permission to use images of a property or location for publication, particularly in instances where private property is concerned. This permission must be obtained from the property owner.

Featured Locations: Beach and Waterfront Houses

It is summer and I have been receiving a number of requests lately for beach and waterfront houses, so I have pulled a number of beach house locations from my location files an added them to a beach houses album on Locamundo:
