Film Casualty Insurance Agency customer Brenton Gieser is working on a powerful feature-length documentary called, The 50.
It's an exploration of the lives of the first 50 men to have taken part and complete a first of its kind rehabilitation program called the Offender Mentor Certification Program (OMCP) and thus becoming California Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselors while inmates of the California state prison system.
The film tells the story of a select few of “the 50”, moving through their childhood, lives before prison, early years in prison, experience within the OMCP program at Solano State Prison, and their lives today as they work to live virtuous lives on the outside.
Through the film, the idea of rehabilitation and redemption for those who society have deemed irredeemable is explored and thus forces the audience to reevaluate their own judgments of our country’s prison population as well as rethink what is possible if our prison system took rehabilitation seriously.

Our Story
Our company started out of a frustration with how film and entertainment insurance was marketed, bought, and sold. We are filmmakers, and we wanted to know: what kind of insurance do we need, what does it cover, and is it going to cost an arm and a leg?
For us, the cost of insurance was so high that in our early days as producers, we went uninsured. (We don’t recommend this.) When we were finally forced to buy insurance, we weren't even sure what it covered — and the folks selling it didn't seem too sure on answers either.
What were our options?
We found a massive insurance industry full of agencies — some complex and intimidating and others kind of shoddy. While most had the best intentions, they didn't quite grasp the culture of film, quick-changing set conditions, or how to implement technology to solve our production problems, fast. Not to mention, we noticed agencies were often over-selling us to buy expensive insurance products we didn't quite need.
