Every story deserves to be told
With kindness, passion, and respect
The value of stories
There's always a story. It's all stories, really.
The sun coming up every day is a story.
Everything's got a story in it. Change the story, change the world
Terry Pratchett
Humans have been telling stories since the beginning of time. From words around the fire to novels and poems, from radio to film and TV the power of a good story has endured.
Fairy tales teach children about the world and other people. War movies and tales of resistance inspire collective movement towards change. Comedies speak truth to power and lighten the heart. Romances invoke the capacity for love in the darkest of times.
There is justice in the telling of stories, and one has to ask: whose stories are being told? What world is being spoken into existence?
Let’s tell mindful and powerful stories together.

All about intimacy coordination
Scenes involving nudity and simulated sex require expert support from an intimacy coordinator in the same way that athletic feats and physically challenging scenes require a stunt coordinator.
An IC helps translate directorial vision into action, negotiating the practical constraints and ensuring the physical and emotional safety of cast and crew throughout filming.
If your project involves nudity or simulated sex having an IC’s support is in order. You might also find it helpful to have one to navigate emotionally intimate scenes (especially when minors are involved), non sexual physical intimacy, intimate choreography, especially around unconventional sexual practices.
