2005 Risks In Global Filmmaking Map

Planning to make a film in a foreign country? You may just want to take a look at this map provided by insurance broker Aon.

For example, if you want to shoot in Hong Kong, in terms of political risks, it is considered low, but risk drivers will include border and transit delays. Our neighbouring country Malaysia has terrorism and regulatory risk as its risk drivers. Malaysia is also considered medium risk in crime, corruption, kidnap & ransom, disease, and medical care.

Singapore? Well, it doesn't quite figure on the map, except that it is marked by a blue dot. Blue is suppose to be moderate risk. If that's not true, it could be that Singapore is risk free, or that Singapore is too insignificant as a filming location. Let's hope it's not the latter.
