Hi, I'm Chela Hunter, and I'm an intimacy coordinator.

Chela's not just an intimacy coordinator.

She is the intimacy coordinator.

Yes, that's correct, for heated rivalry.

So I feel like I have to acknowledge that your work has been the topic of discussion in my group chats for going on weeks now.

Why do you think the audience has responded so passionately to Heated Rivalry?

For people who didn't know that your job exists, what does an intimacy coordinator do?

Yeah.

I wonder, how does your experience performing intimacy, how has that shaped the way you stepped into this role?

Yeah, I want to get more into heated rivalry.

What were your thoughts when you first... Of course you do.

I mean, I always want to get more into heated rivalry.

What were your thoughts when you read the first sex scene?

There's a scene in episode one that takes place in a hotel where the main characters, Shane and Ilya, are hooking up for the first time.

I think it's also the longest sex scene in the show.

It might be somewhere between like seven and nine minutes.

Can you walk us through the process of choreographing that scene?

Like, how did you do that?

You know, I see this larger conversation happening about sex being portrayed on TV, and if it even needs to happen.

What do you think that it adds to a story?
