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 corporate, commercial, 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 The Hartford, Travelers, and Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PHLY) to bring comprehensive, film-focused insurance to creatives like you. No guesswork, no generic policies.

Why Parkside Insurance

We specialize in production risks and understand how equipment, crew, and on-location shoots actually operate. That means your coverage is structured correctly from the start, not forced into a generic policy.

• Real Production Experience
  Unlike other agencies, Parkside has a true insider on the team. Nathan, our resident film expert, located in Atlanta, 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 projects, and help you get exactly the coverage you need.

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

• Fast, Friendly Support
  Need a COI on a tight turnaround? Changing shoot dates or locations? We’re quick, responsive, and speak your language so nothing gets lost in translation.

• Local Service, National Reach
  Parkside has been serving the creative community and beyond since 1944. We believe in doing business the right way: personal, honest, and relationship-first.
