So apparently those sex scenes you see in TV and movies are choreographed, and it involves this new thing called...consent? And intimacy? I don't know either of those words. I talk to Megan Gilron, an intimacy coordinator, about what it takes to make those steamy love scenes go smoothly. Or roughly, depending on how much stubble is present.

We learn about how the film industry is evolving its creation and representation of intimacy in movies and TV! & We get behind-the-scenes peaks in our conversation with a real life intimacy coordinator in the film industry! We had the privilege of conversing with Megan Gilron, intimacy coordinator for film & TV, based in Vancouver. Intimacy coordination is a quite a recent development, stemming pretty directly from the Me Too movement.
TESTIMONIALS
"Rehearsing and filming intimacy for “What Comes Next”, I am an Intimacy Coordinator fan, specifically a Megan Gilron fan. Because it’s like it’s very, very cool to have someone who is sex positive and really well versed in consent and boundaries and also filmaking. She supported us with what we need to tell the story and findings way to tell the story that we’re telling while protecting everyone’s personal comfort levels and making sure we all feel safe. They put forward a vision of onscreen intimacy that is honest, positive and non exploitative. I think the more safe and protected your actors feel, the more present they can be, because you’ve choreographed it all out with your shots you don’t miss those moments. You don’t miss like spark between the two people because the camera was slightly the wrong spot."
"Working with Megan as our intimacy coordinator on "What Comes Next" was a pleasure. She not only made us feel very comfortable and relaxed in a potentially uncomfortable situation (love scenes). What I most appreciated about working with Megan was the insight and tips she gave to myself and the other actors while performing the scenes. Ideas about how to make our performances look more realistic and flattering, which as an actor who is putting themselves out there in a vulnerable position, is very much appreciated. All and all a wonderful experience and a valuable part of the team!!!”
