DICE / Annual Productions Program
Declared specialty production classes for stunts, pyrotechnics, precision driving, animals, and other controlled exposures that need structured underwriting review.
Declared Production Classes
Controlled exposures that need specialty review
The DICE / Annual Productions program is built for declared action-driven scenes and complex production classes that fall outside ordinary short-term placements.
Submission Path
Scene-by-scene review
Underwriting looks at declared scenes, locations, safety plans, and the timing of specialty exposures inside the broader production schedule.
Coverage Position
Buyback and specialty routing
Stunts and other declared classes may be purchased as buybacks or placed through a separate specialty market depending on the exposure.
Submission requirements
Eligible stunt and effects classes
