Hey All, I'm in pre-production on a short film project. I have a fight scene where I'm trying to get my stunt performers insured in case of any injury. Does anyone know how to go about getting stunts covered in California?

A few years ago I left a salaried job to live off savings and write full-time. I've been fortunate enough to find directors who liked my stuff and we've made a few shorts. Here's a teaser-trailer for TWO FOR TEA, which I made with director Ben Joyner: https://vimeo.com/113861980 Ben and I are moving...

Here's a teaser-trailer for TWO FOR TEA, which I made with director Ben Joyner: https://vimeo.com/113861980 Ben and I are moving toward production on a feature called GINSENG, about an aging alcoholic who angers territorial locals when he drags his estranged son on a camping trip into the Appalachians. Please check out my profile for links to script-samples, and let me know if you need to hire a good writer. Cheers!
Very cool, well I'm looking forward to seeing it in the Spring then!
I didn't quite understand what two for tea was about, I'm assuming it's a thriller? Only because of the music? And an unhappy lady.. but it looks well done, I was just left with wanting to know what it's about.. wish I had your production skills!

Expand commentThe production skills here belong entirely to the director and his crew, Jennifer. As to what it's about, here's the synopsis from the vimeo page: "When the law shows up to take a retired schoolteacher's grandson into custody, things take a turn for the worst. In this brooding tale about the darker side of unconditional love, an indomitable (and perhaps slightly unhinged) grandmother pits herself against the forces that could tear her family apart." You can also read the first three pages of the script on my script-sample page, here: http://joshbarkeythree.blogspot.com/
Hey Josh! Cool! Thanks so much!
"Choppy!"

Expand commentPimpkillah is seriously cool. As someone who writes in the gritty/pulpy genre myself it's so cool to see a female writer succeeding in this area. It's well worth checking out Sarah's website and learning more about her and her comic book series. She's certainly someone we should all be keeping our eye on.
sarah, I am trying to pitch a graphic novel. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi Sarah! Workers comp is administered differently by each state, if I remember correctly, so you might start by Googling general workers comp in your state, see what comes up, and start making phone calls from there. Good luck! =)

Expand commentHi Sarah, you can obtain workers comp, including fight scenes that are choreographed, structured, and sequenced. These scenes may involve physical contact between actors and the use of weapons. But this needs to be part of the complete insurance package for your film and may not be purchased separately. Let me know if you need a quote. Cheers
Your production insurance agent will have this. You need prod insurance before you can get stunt insurance.
