Production Insurance

At Parkside Agency, we know what it takes to bring a story to life—and what it takes to protect it. Our in-house expert has over 12 years of real-world film production experience across micro-budget indies, television, and feature films. That insider knowledge helps us speak the language of the industry and guide you toward the coverage your project actually needs.

We’ve partnered with Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PHLY) to bring comprehensive, film-focused insurance to creatives like you—no guesswork, no generic policies.

Why parkside?

• Real Production Experience
  Unlike other agencies, Parkside has a true insider on the team. Nathan, our resident film expert, is an award-winning field producer who works primarily in the camera department—as a director of photography (DP) and camera operator. He got his start in Grip & Electric before moving behind the lens, and today he runs his own production company, regularly producing and shooting commercial, documentary, and narrative work.

• When you talk to Nathan, you're not just talking to an agent—you’re talking to someone who’s lived the production cycle from scout to post. That means we ask the right questions, understand the nuance of your project, and help you get exactly the coverage your shoot needs.

• Film-Focused Policies from PHLY
  We offer production insurance through Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PHLY), known for their comprehensive and production-specific coverage—backed by decades of experience in the entertainment space.

• Local Service, National Reach
