Entertainment Insurance Is A Family Of Policies — Not One.
"Entertainment insurance" is shorthand for the bundle of specialty coverages that productions, performers, venues, and operators piece together to protect their work. A music festival does not carry the same policy as a documentary crew, and a stagehand does not insure the same way a nightclub owner does.
That is where KIG comes in. We unbundle the chaos, match the right policy to the right risk, and place programs across the entertainment economy — from short-term shoots to season-long tours, from grip trucks to LED walls. If it is hard to place, it is our specialty.
Specialty Markets
Access to carriers who underwrite niche, high-risk, and one-off entertainment exposures.
Fast Turnarounds
Certificates issued same-day for productions that need proof of coverage yesterday.
Short Or Annual
One-day shoots, multi-week tours, or full annual programs — same broker, scaled coverage.
Hard-To-Place Welcome
Stunts, pyro, animals, aerial, foreign shoots — we do not say no, we find a market.

How We Get You Covered — Fast.
Most entertainment clients are coming to us with a deadline. Here is how the workflow runs.
Send The Ask
Drop us a contract, COI request, or a one-line description of your shoot or event.
We Match A Market
We route your risk to the carrier whose appetite fits — not a one-size template.
Quick Quote
Pricing comes back fast. Most short-term shoots quote same-day or within 24 hours.
COI In Hand
Bind, pay, and we issue your certificate. You hit your call time without a hitch.
Got A Contract? Send It. We Will Handle The Rest.
A lot of entertainment clients are not shopping coverage — they are staring down a venue contract or a rental agreement that demands a certificate of insurance by tomorrow. We call those folks the "just gimme it" crowd. We love them.
Forward us the contract or service agreement. The required limits and additional insureds are usually written right on it. We will back into the cheapest, fastest, contract-compliant solution and have your COI in hand quickly. No upsell. No bloat. Just the policy you need to get on set.
Send Us The Contract
I Just Need A COI For A Venue. Can You Do That?
Yes — short-term production policies are designed exactly for this. Send us the venue's insurance requirements and we will match the policy to the contract.
What Is The Smallest Production You Will Insure?
One day, one shooter, one location. We routinely place coverage for student films, demo reels, and single-day photo shoots.
Do You Handle Stunts, Pyro, & Aerial Scenes?
Yes. These are scheduled exposures that need to be disclosed up front. Tell us what you are shooting and we will route to a carrier with appetite for it.
Do You Insure Foreign Or Out-Of-Country Productions?
Yes — we place out-of-country production policies with worldwide territory endorsements. Country of shoot matters, so flag it early.
What About Producer & Distributor E&O?
That is its own dedicated program. Distributors will demand it before pickup. We can quote standalone E&O or roll it into a full production package.
