Overview

IFG provide completion guarantees from the $13.5 billion Fireman's Fund in America. These resources enable bonding of productions with budgets up to $100 million.

The process of securing a bond with IFG involves a detailed review of the script, location and shooting schedules, budget and resumes of key production personnel. Once these and any complex filming requirements have been fully discussed with the producer a bond can be issued. Throughout the production process detailed reporting is required to enable IFG to monitor the cost and schedule of the film.
