Cover that keeps the cameras rolling

Whether you run a well-established company looking for the next box office smash, or you’re a filmmaker simply trying to get a ‘no-budget’ short over the line, our team is here to help you find the right cover.

Since we arrived on the scene in the ‘90s, Performance has built a reputation for supporting the independent film community. In the noughties we supported Film London, ensuring independent filmmakers got the right advice and cover that they needed. Then in 2018 we launched the annual Performance Short Film Competition, and to date, we’ve received submissions from hundreds of filmmakers and production companies.

As supporters of emerging independent film talent here in the UK, we’ve developed an offering to cater for the needs of film projects of varying sizes – from no-budget single day shoots to elaborate worldwide productions of 90 days or more.

We also understand that filmmakers need flexibility in their choice of insurance, which is why we offer short period cover alongside our annual policies. For more established filmmakers, our annual insurance policies are specially designed to evolve alongside your projects and can provide year-round insurance cover for multiple productions.

Choose your cover:

Short Period
Annual

Not every production takes months to make – but even when projects are short-term, they still need protecting. That’s why we offer cover on terms of 90 days or less.

Whether you’re making a music video, commercial, feature film or kit test, we provide the behind-the-scenes support you’ll need if something goes wrong.

AFFORDABLE COVER
Our short-term cover isn’t big on price. Choose from a range of policy options from just £38.
MAKE CHANGES EASILY
Forgotten to tell us something? No problem. You can amend your policy after purchase.
COVER FOR 90 DAYS OR LESS

We’ve even invented cover where we found gaps in the market, such as our pioneering post-production indemnity cover. Because we believe every production has the right to be made.

So whether you work in pre- or post-production, provide equipment hire or work as a freelancer, we can help you choose the right insurance cover for your specific needs.
