The movie I want to shoot has intimacy and nudity. I wanna shoot these ethically.
Fortunately, there’s an excellent book about this called Staging Sex by intimacy coordinator Chelsea Pace. I took notes (and posted them on my filmmaking blog–see link below).

- Desexualize the process
- Choreograph intimacy
Chelsea says you don’t have to be perfect. Even a little bit is better. Heartening words. In case your curious, my notes are over here.
