THE BODY DOESN’T LIE.
NEITHER SHOULD OUR STORIES.

I work as an Intimacy Director in film, TV, and digital world.
But more than that — I hold space for truth to emerge where we usually hide the most.

In a world that still romanticizes performance over presence, I invite something else: realness.

Intimacy is not just choreography. It is emotional architecture. It is soul-work. It is care made visible.
And it is time we stopped pretending otherwise.

This work isn’t about limitation — it’s about liberation.
The more care we bring to intimacy, the deeper the story can go.

 

I STAND FOR…

• Intimacy that expands, not exploits
• Bodies of all kinds — all shapes, shades, and ages — portrayed with dignity
• Sets where safety is not a luxury, but a foundation
• Actors who never have to trade their boundaries for a job
• A new standard — one rooted in inclusion, communication, and deep respect

I stand against the systemic harm baked into “how things have always been.”
Ageism, racism, ableism, fatphobia, queerphobia — they have no place on a conscious set.
I don’t just navigate difference — I center it. Because representation without care is still a lie.

THE 5 Cs + 1

Context – Why this scene? What does it mean? What story are we really telling here?

Communication – I translate the director’s vision and actors’ needs into one clear, co-created language.

Consent – Not a checkbox, but an ongoing conversation. Quiet, clear, continuous.

Choreography – Every move is planned, agreed, and repeatable — nothing left to chance or confusion.

Closure – After the take: a moment to land. A ritual to return from the fiction to the self.

+ Care – The invisible thread through it all. Without care, there is no art. Only re-enactment.

I BRING

• ·  Story-consistent intimacy choreography
• · Actor and crew education on safety protocols
• · Nudity and simulated sex consulting (wardrobe, props, language)
• · Culturally sensitive, trauma-informed guidance
• · Presence in rehearsal, on set, and in post when needed
• · A clear voice when things get muddy
• · A soft ear when someone needs to be heard

I offer both structure and soul. Precision and presence.
Because this is technical work — but also deeply human.

THIS IS BIGGER THAN FILM.
THIS IS ABOUT HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER.

Intimacy on screen is changing because intimacy in life is demanding more.
More honesty. More care. More courage.

We live in a time when being open is revolutionary.
When being vulnerable is a form of protest.
And when every choice we make — as artists, leaders, crew — shapes what becomes normal tomorrow.

Let’s raise the bar.
Let’s tell stories that don’t just arouse — but resonate.
Let’s make work that touches something true.

READY TO CREATE DIFFERENTLY?

If you’re a director, producer, or actor tired of the old templates — and ready for something braver — I’m here.

I work across all stages: from script development to final edit, offering the tools, clarity, and compassion to make intimate scenes both powerful and ethical.

Let’s tell the stories the world hasn’t dared to tell yet.
