New Mexico Film Office aims to create safer sets with new training (krqe.com)
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A select group of New Mexico residents have begun training for a unique and relatively new position on film sets. The New Mexico Film Office is offering training courses to equip applicants to be certified intimacy coordinators.
Intimacy coordinators work on film and television productions to create a safer work environment for actors performing in scenes involving physical touch, nudity, intimacy, and simulated sex. The film office partnered with the Intimacy Professionals Association (IPA) Intimacy Coordinator Training Program, the first agency in the world to solely specialize in representing intimacy professionals.
