You worked hard and finished your production! Many hours and much sweat and love went into your creation. But you are not done yet; you need an audience to experience your work. You again work hard and find a distributor!

Then the distributor says you need multiple years, multi-million E&O insurance. What? How much? Why? An insurance broker? A lawyer? Million-dollar claims?

E&O insurance protects you relating to “errors and omissions” made by you, the producer, and staff during the course of production. Did you get all the proper release forms for locations, people, writers, and musicians? Did you defame or violate privacy rights? Did you infringe on copyright and trademark?

Take a deep breath, you are almost to the finish line. It is not as hard as it looks, and we are here every step of the way to assist you!

In this one-hour Member Hours event, we are joined by Front Row Insurance Brokers Kent Hamilton and Alyson Locacciato to answer some of your questions about the E&O insurance benefits provided for IDA members through our partnership with the Front Row Insurance brokers.

In this members-only event, the Front Row team will present an overview of the E&O insurance benefits for IDA members and answer participants' questions.
