This is not the rental fee you pay the vendors, it’s the replacement value of the gear WMM is covering if lost/damaged. If unknown right now we may have to adjust pricing later.

Would you like us to handle your permitting coordination?

Other

PLEASE NOTE: For permits to be applied for in a timely manner please give us at least two weeks notice to guarantee placement. Once the permitting process has been initated film offices will not refund any money if the permit is no longer required. We recommend triple checking with each location (especially studios) that a permit is required before starting this process.

Do you have any stunts or high risk activities (ie. dancing, contact sports, swimming etc..)? (If yes, please provide a short description of the stunt, including the location of the cast and crew during the stunt)

Please Note: to schedule stunts and/or policy increases (for vendors that require a higher aggregate or per-occurance limit) we require the project to onboard at least 10 business days prior to the start of the shoot. For projects shooting in under 10 days a rush fee may be applied due to the coordination required for stunts and policy increases.

If you answered YES to having stunts: please upload a storyboard and the section of the script with stunts here.
