Who Are the Intimacy Coordinators on Film Sets? New Project Will Tell Their Story

Up until now, the institution of the intimacy coordinator has been mentioned mainly in the context of his work on the set. Now, the intimacy coordinator will be the heroine of a short film production. The film "The Intimacy Coordinator" will answer the question of what would happen if the person performing this function was addicted to sex.

When the #MeToo movement exposed several prominent filmmakers who abused their power and were sexual predators, the industry decided to prevent such incidents in the future. This is how the institution of the intimacy coordinator was created , responsible for all matters related to on-screen sex . Many actors and actresses welcomed this change in the work on film, but there were also some who were openly critical of such coordinators.

Cinema is taking on a hot topic right now. This summer, filming will begin on a short film called "The Intimacy Coordinator." The main roles will be played by Louisa Connolly-Burnham, Kieran Moore, Alexander Arnold, and Sophie Simnett. Connolly-Burnham also wrote the script and will direct.

The protagonist of "The Intimacy Coordinator" will be Kate. She is a highly respected intimacy coordinator in the industry, who hides a secret. She is a woman addicted to sex. Therapy sessions in support groups do not help. Kate sleeps with other addicts, compulsively uses dating apps at night and watches pornography. This quickly begins to have a negative impact on her work when one of the actors she works with begins to suspect her of being a sex addict.

- Louisa's script is dangerous, provocative and - like all of her works - is also an important work of art. Her talent knows no limits. I consider it a privilege to be able to participate in this project - says Kieran Moore , who plays Max, quoted by Variety.
