So I would say my approach to intimacy coordinating is super actor-centric.

I was so astonished, to be honest, by all the scripts.

They're so beautifully written.

They're so exacting and hilarious and heartbreaking.

And I think when I read the first sex scene, simulated sex scene, I was like...

Oh, this is so specific.

Like, I could picture exactly what was happening.

It's all laid out really, really specifically in the script.

So, like, the sex in the story for these characters is such a huge part of their relationship, and it's so important to the narrative, and it moves the narrative forward.

So...

Yeah, I actually just felt like it was so specific and kind of like jumped off the page.

And of course, I was like, oh, wow, there's a lot of simulated sex in this story.

But I understood why.

And I actually just felt really like thrilled by the like boldness and originality of the writing.

I mean, we had a full day of rehearsals with the cast and myself, which was just wonderful.

But it makes such a massive difference when the actors can like...

get the motions in their body before the day where there's like a thousand lights and all these people behind them.

You know, we always have like a private rehearsal and blocking before we actually film any simulated sex or nudity or anything like that.

But just, I think that rehearsal was so helpful.

And then on the day, that was certainly a scene where there's like all of the actions, the tiny little details, a ton of them that you're seeing play out were scripted.
