D.I.C.E Insurance Policies Explained

Documentary Insurance contemplates insurance for productions related to the capture of factual records or reports.  Essentially it is factually programming and should not rely on interpretation and fiction.  

Exceptions to consider when purchasing a DICE Producer Package

Insurance carriers may have strict guidelines regarding DICE Insurance policies. 

  • Some Entertainment Insurance Companies may not be able to offer insurance for documentaries, which would actually make the  acronym ‘I.C.E.’ 
  • Some Production Insurance Carriers will not allow certain budgets to be included under a DICE Program. That is, if you are a production company that has an average budget per production of $25,000 and then you have a production budget of over $500,000 for a single project, that could be problematic depending on the insurance company. 
  • Piggy-Backing : Assuming someone else’s insurance will cover your production could be a problem. If there are multiple entities involved in a production, it is a best practice to account for all entities in some fashion.  Talk with your entertainment insurance broker about the best handle way to handle each situation.
