She was on recently, and she was telling me about the importance of intimacy coordinators.
And I was talking to her about when I started on IMDb, that wasn't even an option you could choose on it.
... something you could actually choose, and you don't have to go and, like, find it in, like, I don't know, other crew or whatever.
Uh, but anyways, the point I wanna make is we talked a little bit about your, your strong belief in intimacy coordinators-
And I just wanted to kinda, like, just gradually touch on that for a, a minute, why you feel they're so important.
I mean, to be honest, there is the element of safety and the safety of everyone on the set, of making sure there is a person there advocating for the actor, for the director, for everyone, to make sure they all feel comfortable in the space.
Like, really when you're choreographing an intimacy scene, it's almost like a dance.
It should be choreography to a point of where you're not feeling really emotions about it.
Um, and I think an intimacy coordinator helps alleviate some of that awkwardness, so you feel less like, "Oh, there's gonna be...
