Make It Look Real

Claire Warden is an internationally in-demand intimacy coordinator who has helped to choreograph numerous sex scenes in major Hollywood films and TV shows. Hired for the Australian film Tightrope by director Kieran Darcy-Smith, Warden must balance his vision with the safety and comfort of the actors, ensuring both parties feel supported. There are scenes to be blocked and modesty garments to be designed, all in line with the actors’ personal boundaries. Blending insight and entertainment, this layered documentary feature debut from SFF alum Kate Blackmore (The Butter Scene, 2021) illustrates the benefits of having an intimacy coordinator on set as it reveals how the illusion of sex on screen is made.
