Intimacy Coordinator
Ita O’Brien for Intimacy On Set
“And intimacy was handled so beautifully, it was handled well because we had an intimacy coordinator. So everyone knew what was happening and what was going where. Newton explained that in scenes involving nudity and physical intimacy, you should always have an intimacy coordinator because ‘it’s all about consent.’ That’s why we have the intimacy coordinator. Everyone consents to every detail of what’s happening. Everyone’s in agreement… and then we go to work.” (Thandiwe Newton)

“It was wonderful. She (Ita) was lovely. It just takes the pressure off. There’s just no discomfort, because you have someone like a referee making sure it’s all above board and everyone is comfortable. She’s also like a choreographer making sure it all translates well on screen like, “Move your neck” or “Arch your back more.” Chris Pine
