SAG-AFTRA: Standards and Protocols for the Use of Intimacy Coordinators
Nudity and simulated sex often have an important role in the telling of a story, whether in the film, television or interactive world. Although performances in these scenes convey strong feelings and powerful emotions to an audience which can be integral to a storyline, SAG-AFTRA also recognises the unique vulnerability that arises for performers when performing hyper-exposed work.
SAG-AFTRA believes that implementation of these standards and protocols for the use of intimacy coordinators will allow productions to run more efficiently, provide a safety net for performers and establish specialised support that empowers both cast and crew.
