Intimacy Coordination

After 15 years or so in post-production and 6 in directing, I have decided to add another string to my bow and explore Intimacy Coordination; something I see as highly complimentary to my directing work. With my industry experience in post-houses, production companies and as a freelancer. I’ve has always sought to create an atmosphere on set of trust, safety and authenticity. I have an instinct for crafting story,feeling and human connection. Through my animation work I also have a thorough understanding of how we convey story and emotion through movement and the body.


I am a recent graduate from the Post-graduate, Intimacy Coordination couse at the NFTS, under the mentorship of Haley Muraleedharan. The course has been an in-depth exploration of all areas of Intimacy Coordination, such as creative development, safeguarding and paperwork; all essential to the role. My learning and subsequent practice is rooted in consent, communication and creative collaboration. I’m dedicated to practice with an in-depth and comprehensive workflow that is also adaptable to working in a way that serves the production and crew best. I believe this combination provides both the safety and wellbeing of cast and crew whilst working towards high-quality, creative output. I’m excited to work on a variety of projects, collaborating with different directors, producers, actors and other HOD’s with enthusiasm and flexibility.
